This game is incredible! Very fun and intense. Some levels you might not find scary can surprise you, plus all of the monsters are well designed! The game does have a few funny glitches, but i havent ran into any gamebreaking bugs. Just more visual bugs. Other than that, the game is great, every level feels different and challenging, and the powers are not overwhelming. 9/10.

This game is so interesting and fun. What the game lacks in story and lore, it makes up for in gameplay, graphics, and innovation. The power system and abilities and the different loadout you can make turn the game into such a fun and awesome pacman that makes you clench anytime you hear something sprinting behind you.

The game is basically horror pacman but that isnt a insult at all. It is fun and fast paced, and each level feels extremely unique and cool, especially the later levels. For 20 dollars this is well worth it. There are a few bugs and one time I had to completely restart a level because the next area would not load. Also the way the powers are set up can make it so switching powers mid chase is difficult and rough on the fingers.
