Both chapters of "within of static" were better than the "tales beyond the tomb" series in my opinion. I do like "tbtt" also! I'd say give them a shot! I streamed both episodes on my channel- https://www.youtube.com/@rankdill1 found this helpful
This was the best 616 game I have played so far, proceeding just past Ashburg rental.1 found this helpful
The only thing it could use more of is some TV channels to watch. This game delivers on proper story-telling, well-executed jump-scares, and an overall generally immersive experience. I really didn't expect the ending, and I did die one time before I figured out where to hide - I could see how people might get stuck and frustrated here - yet the pacing was great and it was simple enough to figure out what to do next. Overall, a fun and smooth experience. I'm beginning to love this and the Fears2Fathom series.1 found this helpful
This was great, loved the first one and this one was just as good. I hope there are more to come! Check out my gameplay here: https://youtu.be/M2MloMJ9NcU1 found this helpful
