I’ve been playing horror games for years and have gone through hundreds of titles, ranging from the best to the worst. This stands out as one of the scariest experiences I’ve had so far.

Yo, these devs always dropping fire games. I really liked the 5 different stories as we got to see a lit bit of everything from them. This really seems like a project building up to the next big thing. I really loved video 1. Just so much tension and not overdone jumpscares. Full Gameplay on the channel https://youtu.be/SrBLAgLq3xA

Saying the game really bad without a reason is bot. The game is good and has 5 different short stories so far. Atmosphere is crazy in every story. Scary but would be better if could have lasted longer.
