Nov. 2025

It's not quite Fatal Frame in terms of gameplay, but the setting and atmosphere were still interesting enough to keep me engaged. Also got me into Fatal Frame after finishing lol.

Oct. 2025

Fatal Frame but Indonesian Folklore instead of Japanese Onryos. Really underrated.

May 2025

Played this game years ago but decided to replay the series again due to the announcement of the third instalment so I had to visit the first two titles. It's a great indonesian horror game with creepy scares and enemies. Clearly the games are inspired by Fatal Frame and it's clear as day which again is another great horror series. There are a few bugs and glitches that could have been fixed but overall a great experience, short but great.

Feb. 2025

Cool horror game with different working mechanics and a well crafted storyline.

Feb. 2025

this game perfectly captures what true horror is, i like that you have to use a camera, what i don't like is that the hints are sorta vague.
