What we like:
  • Wonderful storytelling, sound design and visuals
  • Real fun gameplay mechanics
  • Short and sweet, can probably be played and finished in a few hours
  • Good mix of horror/tension and puzzle solving
  • A chilling adventure that draws players into its world and slowly twists it into something entirely different
What could be improved:
  • Puzzle answer hidden within a strobe effect which could be harmful
  • Some trial and error on some parts of the mechanics
  • The game's precise typing responses don't always work
