I am not even kind of done with this game yet but I just had to write a review. This. Is. Amazing. One of the best horror games Ive played so far and im not even finished with it. The atmosphere is incredible. The jump scares are fantastic. The game play is easy and to the point. The puzzles are awesome. 10/10 for this game. I would have paid more money for it.

I finished the game in under one hour, usually i am a very easily scared person but this game wasnt scary at all, the atmosphere just never builds up. The game overuses jumpscares to the point that they just stop working entirely and ontop of that the puzzle aspect of the game is too easy, I never had to think or look for a solution it felt more like tasks rather than puzzles. I cannot recommend this game even tho i bought it for less than 2 bucks while it was on sale

Atmosphere is the game's defining strength. Every environment is crafted to create a lingering sense of unease, using dimly lit interiors, abandoned spaces, and realistic visuals to maintain tension from beginning to end. Rather than depending solely on frequent jump scares, the experience relies on psychological pressure, subtle sound effects, and the fear of the unknown. Players are constantly encouraged to investigate every room and inspect seemingly ordinary o…

I don't get the story and gameplay was confusing. It was annoying than anything.

The most abstract one yet, and pretty neat! But I wonder if the "shattered" achievement is broken for some.

Games like Dying Light, where nightfall changes the rules

Games like Dying Light are easy to find if you only want parkour or only want zombies. These eight keep the part that matters: a city that becomes a different place after dark.

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
