Decided to explore a little more from the developers after playing MiSide, and this was a very pleasant experience. My main complaint is of slight motion sickness with the strange camera movement. Pros: -Great character models and animation. -Ambiance was stellar, not overly reliant on cheap jump scares. -Great soundtrack to keep tension. -Although the map was reused several times, they were able to keep it fresh...

As a big fan of MiSide I had to check other games by the same developer. It's clear that they were still dipping their toes and testing the waters with this one. Overall it's a decent horror walking simulator with puzzle elements. You'll spend your time in an ever-changing appartement. The game has an interesting concept, the environments are creepy, very dark, and the creature absolutely terrifying. But what really...
