What players say

Spoopy: 7/10 Overall: 8/10 Good: * Atmosphere and Map Design were fantastic. I recommend looking up at times so you don't miss anything. * Ambient Sound was also fantastic. The game did not rely heavily on loud Music. * The "monsters" were designed really well. * The death scenes were also really great. * Graphics were good. * Had complete Sound Sliders which was nice. * Graphic settings were limited but at least it...
