It might be kinda old. It might be arguably past its prime. And I may just be autistic and this game might be one of my special interests. But this game slaps. This game is a classic for me. One of the prime games of growing up on the weird fandom side of the internet. I love the simplicities AND the complexities of it. It's pattern recognition yet it keeps you guessing. The depth of the storyline had me in a chokehold from the first time I cared to pay attention to it. The character designs are interesting. I love this stupid little indie horror game. 10/10.

This one was fun for the most part, though Chapter 3 got a bit tedious... I loved the art style! It's one of those you probably should play through several times to get all the achievements. I got it on sale, so of course I recommend getting it on sale.
