What players say
short game but pretty interesting. to find story you have to read notes or you will not know what the F you are doing plot wise, so READ MF READ
one of the coolest and most memorable endings I've seen from a horror game.... and hard mode provides a constant, consistent challenge throughout the whole experience :3
Finished it in a few hours of buying it. The atmosphere is incredible, as to be expected. While the gameplay loop got a bit repetitive, the fights were definitely at their best when there were big crowds. Having control of the environment using traps and pits was a good addition. The enemy variety is just big enough to make you understand what their deals all fast. The story, what little there was, made me feel icky...
