this game is too scarE to me, horror is not my fav there are many puzzles and many jumpscares. the sound is very loud that made me kinda scared and it is very dark. the story is okay and the ending is very clear OneGuy made this ? damn it is cool and it was good lidl horror
It is rough around the edges, with plenty of loose threads and unfinished details, yet a surprisingly unsettling atmosphere still emerges from the mess. The fact that it was made by a solo developer explains both its shortcomings and its peculiar charm.
