What players say
This had great graphics, unsettling atmosphere, the puzzles were decent and the short story wasn't bad. For the price, this is an excellent short horror to go through,

I kinda had to laugh in the beginning because I realized dude was locked up in the Beta Hospital. Really good game for being on the short side. (Did 2 playthroughs) Graphics, atmosphere, horror and music were spot on. Kinda didn't need them but there's a few jump-scares. All around it was pretty solid. 8/10
There was too much that I didn't enjoy about this game to recommend buying it. The horror aspect wasn't bad, it had good atmosphere and jump scares. That's about where the things I liked stops though unfortunately. When you start the game the building you start out in was the exact same building, layout, and details as you play in in the game Left Behind. Both games came out 1 day apart so I guess its a generic...
