Absolutely abysmal control scheme with a controller. Would definitely refund if I hadn't bought it in a bundle. Total waste of money. UPDATE: I will admit when I was wrong. After a developer response pointed me to where the control scheme can be changed, it VASTLY increases the playability of the game. I highly recommend if you're using a controller to switch to the 'Modern' control scheme. So thank you to the developer both for your patience and help. I look forward to experiencing the haunting atmosphere of this game!

It's creepy, but it is also very empathetic. Short and fulfilling journey with some nice puzzles. Combat is quite reminiscent of the bad parts of Kingsfield and the last section was a bit too intense for my liking, but overall - very enjoyable and atmospheric adventure. Highly recommend

A short dungeon exploration adventure with puzzles and frights and an insane control scheme. I loved it! If you're on the fence, try the demo, you can pick up progress from there in the full game.

It's, comfortable it's not really that spooky, nor does it seem to want to be, the controls hit a good balance between the intended rigidity and expression, what you're given is more than enough to get by and you can still circlestrafe to boot, At times the whole game functions like the first alchemy puzzle in amnesia and lasts about as long, Most of my time playing was having it offscreen while I screwed around and looked up the symbols out of curiosity. They definitely contribute a meaningful amount to explaining what's going on, though knowing them is largely uninvolved with the puzzles (okay it instantly spoils one because it's obvious what the game wants from the player), which I do find to be disappointingly basic. It, the world interested me well enough and the gimmick is well realised, so it was a good time.

One of the best indie games I have played this year. Really good atmosphere. Reminded me of Amnesia: The Dark Descent. Scared me several times. Love the old school look of the game. The developer recommends using a controller and I heavily agree. The controls are made to be awkward on purpose to add tension to enemy encounters. The way you deal with special enemy types and puzzles is very unique due to the control scheme. The only complaint I would have about the game is not including a view of the controller layout. When I acquired the axe I had to look up how to switch between weapons because the hint disappeared so quickly.
