What players say

It definitely gave me Fears to Fathom vibes, although I'd still put Fears to Fathom above it. That said, this has its own charm. You think you know where things are going, then the ending throws in a little twist. And the snake game on the pc was such an unexpected but nice detail.

I'm disappointed. This is a great game, but they cut out the entire road trip portion in an "update". I can't understand why they would remove a feature from a game like that. The road trip portion really set the tone for the game and added some pleasant atmospheric and diverse scenery to a game that now centers around a singular house. I wish they would allow us to play the cut content if we wish. Very...
