What players say
I picked up and played this game back in 2020, and even though I'm a bit late to review the game, I figured it's better done late than never. This game really nails the creepy, horror vibes. It felt super realistic, and I was hooked the entire time I played it. I have to admit, it gave me more than a few heart attacks, but I plowed through and finished it. Overall, it was a fantastic experience. The only downside is...
Steam reviews, mixed to its ratio and rotated daily. Opinions are theirs.
