What players say
Narrative horror adventure with a pinch of Silent Hill, both in terms of environment and story. Puzzles are simple enough, mostly playing with darkness and light. It's nice, draws you in.

This was probably the most beautiful indie game I've ever played, and I hope to see more of this style. In regards to the story, I found it very thought provoking to be the one to pass judgement, and I do wish there was an option not to. I personally forgave Mark, as he's a child and has an entire life ahead of him. Condemned the police chief, and the firefighter. They were adults who could have chosen to do the...
I rarely leave a negative review on games but... This game is Masterclass on how to NOT tell a very good narrative story. It's filled with unneeded chase sequencies and overfilled with pointless puzzles that about 20% of them have to offer something on the whole story. Play it when you have nothing else to play or just for the scares.
