What players say
A truly terrifying experience. The pacing, sound design, music and atmosphere was top notch. In the stealth parts expect to die a few times till you get the feel of it. But to me it just added to the gameplay that had my heart beating out of my chest. If you are looking to play a horror game you won't forget anytime soon. This is it.
1 more review, not recommended
An indie horror game with terrible stealth mechanics. The endings are illogical, and the achievements are frustrating. I don't understand why this game has a positive rating. The overall quality is clearly below average. Last Christmas I bought here the game. But I regretted the purchase the very next day
