A pretty alright little horror game. If you can get it cheap then I think you'll have a fine 3 or so hours. The main selling points are the puzzles and the mystery to solve. I think fans of either will find themselves having a good time even if it isn't groundbreaking stuff here. The horror is... simple. I've seen worse. The overall style is a little too mismatched to work in my opinion. There's too many directions the game wanted to go and I don't think they merged very effectively. The setting clashes with the mythos and the more supernatural elements felt very disconnected. I'd like to see this team try something like this again but with a more cohesive direction. It's also pretty clearly made more for VR. I had a fine time on desktop, (it's not like other VR games that are broken without a headset) but I think it would have been much more effective in VR.

really liked this game. tricky and investigative, with plenty of jumpscares and some chase scenes. similar to Painscreek Killings, but a bit shorter. definitely recommend!

This is a great, quick game. Can be completed in an afternoon. The story and mystery are really well-written, and it's just the right amount of spooky without many jump scares.
