What players say
The story is compelling and it has a slightly creepy angle to keep you motivated. The acting is sort of eh. But they aren't off putting in any sort of way. I'm new to this sort of game and so far I quite like it. Honestly, my only real complaint is that it is frequently crashing on the steam deck. I have to regularly exit the game and then come back in to proceed. That's a bit annoying.

It's a good game, I liked it. I understand why it has a lot of negative reviews - a lot can be confusing after just one playthrough, and that's something people don't like. This game requires multiple playthroughs, with different endings, to fully grasp the game. I also couldn't find a full guide (there are walkthrough videos on YouTube, but they don't cover all the achievements), which might also be a turn-off for...
I can't for the life of me understand how this is steamdeck verified, it freezes every couple minutes near the end.
