What players say

just about "okay" - significantly stronger than Parasocial, but here too, the great art of Chillas Art shows that cool ideas are simply horribly executed and there is absolutely no sensitivity to stylish horror... or people, the dialogues and behaviors of absolutely all the characters in each of their games are always so incredibly stupid, far removed from any logic, that it simply destroys any form of atmosphere...

The beginning was honestly absolutely amazing. The atmosphere was built up really well and I genuinely thought this was finally going to be one of the better Chilla's Art games. Unfortunately after that the game completely falls apart and goes right back into the typical Chilla's Art formula, creepy old guy, stalking and then an ending with a kidnapping without any real twist or anything interesting being done with...
DiavoloNot recommendedafter 2.5hMay 2026Read on Steam
I especially liked the school scene, but the most endings were the same. I wished to see something different. Also, what was the letter for if the man is not related to the main character's mother?
