I don't know about you, but I was absolutely terrified playing this game. Even though it looks like it was thrown together in someone's spare time, I think that's just the style. AAAAAAA ♥♥♥♥, another jumpscare.

Classic point-and-click psychological horror that nails the creepy, grimy atmosphere, but stumbles pretty hard on execution. The inventory puzzles can get frustratingly obtuse, and the short runtime combined with a sudden cliffhanger ending leaves a lot to be desired. It’s decent if you just want a quick dose of late-2000s Silent Hill vibes, but don't expect a masterpiece.

Interesting story. Although, in my lack of thinking skills, I am still piecing up why the events that lead to the game happened. Other than that, great tense moments, most of the jumpscares did get me

This game is pretty awesome. Good story, horror feel, and gameplay. Since it's "mouse only" you can eat queso dip while you play which is pretty cool. 8.5/10 Good Price and Random Queso.
