What players say

A rather disappointing game. Unfortunately, it didn't convince me as much as the developer's previous titles. There are many unnecessary jumpscares that often destroy the otherwise well built atmosphere. What also bothered me was the flow of the game. You're constantly walking back and forth and sometimes have no idea where to go next. I understand that this is intentional, but it really breaks the mood. Suite 776...
