What players say
Pretty generic plot with a weird ending and a very generic gameplay, but aesthetically it does look nice and I got scared a couple times.

This game scared me so bad that it took me an hour to finish when its like 30 minutes. I'm a scaredy cat asf, so if you have low scare tolerance you'll probably like this. I closed my eyes every time the snipper dude was about to get me so have no idea how the jumpscare even looks LOL. It was fun when I knew what I was doin but I used a guide to get it over with faster :p
Had a little run around and saw the go back sign on the wall. Went back and Alt F4 out of the game.
