great game but it needs more sex12 found this helpful
[h1] TLDR: don't get this game, nothing happens [/h1] This game is genuinely terrible, please do not get it. you would have a better time sitting in a chair for 45 minutes. i would rather eat a cactus then play this. when i say nothing happens, I mean its with full sicerety. also runs terribly with no quality settings. I will not be playing other chapters, I wish i didn't play chapter 1. If you say you enjoy this game, I'm sorry for your loss. Y'know, it's funny. The game constantly has: "Why?" written in blood on the walls and I was asking the same question to myself the entire time. I have never hated a game until now. you are not missing out. please don't get this. But the AI french song at the end was funny. (not good funny, like I'm gonna make fun of you funny.)
~Honest But Brutal Review~ The objectives are dull. Walk here, touch this, you need a keycard, go find it, come back.....get scared now and again by the same thing. Graphics are shoddy, everything looks bleached and off......no settings menu or anything. No combat, no alternate fun objectives or optional quests. Performance is very poor. I have a 4070 super and I hit 13FPS at one point.......♥♥♥♥♥♥ 13! I can run The Last Of Us on ULTRA and still get 80-100FPS..........sure, this is free and not made by a massive studio but optimization and graphics options are non existent here. Surely you can do better than 13FPS. I wouldn't recommend this if you want something you'll actually enjoy but I've played worse. Yes, I've got far more negatives than positives for this but that's how it is. {The 13FPS was during a specific section but it lasted like 20 seconds and throughout the game, the frame rate wasn't very stable.}
The real enemy is the memory leak.
this game was fun there is a lot of exploring, walking around if your not in to that this might not be your game. game look really good and had some good jump scares.
Some good jump scares in this one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_o3kJHCFGw
