What players say
I'm probably one of five people who actually remember this game beyond it somehow being the first game made in Unreal Engine 4. It sucks.

Idk what to say about this game ambience is ok but pattern is repetitive few levels doing same thing and it is very short few bugs also here and there maybe on sale like some warmup game sure but anything beyond and if you expect good horror out of this no i give it negative review because i expected more out of it and one last thing if you want a good story then this is def not it
At the end, the Daylight was the friends we made along the way. IGN 9,9/10. It's glorious
