What players say
Loved this game, it's one of the best horror games I've played. I'm surprised by the negative reviews, I think they kind of missed the point of the game. This is similar to the movie The Cell, where you enter the mind of a violent criminal and try to piece together information as you navigate their dark mind. It's supposed to be atmospheric, shadowy, and psychological. The game is pretty short, I only did one...
