What players say
This game is better than the bridge game anyone who says otherwise is just a hater
A cute little addition to the movie. Gameplay is basically RE/SH, but hardly any action, just some stealth (yuk, at least, you can just run through these parts), a couple of chases, and a single boss fight which feels a bit off without a dodge button. The story is pretty engaging and doesn't get tiring during the 5 hours that this game takes to beat. Puzzles are not overly annoying, except the last puzzle box...
Loved this game, definitely recommend to anyone who likes slower-paced psychological horror games. I was a little hesitant going in because I don't mind a good chase or two but I find it a bit annoying when these kind of games have an over-reliance on enemies (some find it boring without a bunch of enemies, but me- i like a good setting, story, lore etc.). I was pleasantly surprised, very creepy and the enemy...
