What players say
As an Eastern European, this game is a huge nostalgic trip back to the 2000s. Good enough jumpscares, a creepy atmosphere, and I definitely didn't expect actual Czech dubbing, so big thumbs up for that. This game also has some fun achievements. I had to play the game twice to get them because of my own dumb mistakes, though I didn't mind since the game itself is rather short. That said, I wouldn't call it...
