Did NOT mean to spend so much time in this but I wanted that last achievement. One was a [HUGE] pain. Simple game that sparked a niche genre I do enjoy

simple little game - less of a horror and more like 'oh please don't open an abyss in the bedroom rn i've got to deal with this guy in the living room'

When I first heard of this game I knew what to expect in the old house, but the new house really got me with that goblin face close-up. If you really wanna get the most out of this game, then play in the dark.

March 2025
I never thought I’d find myself playing a game like this, but I ended up really enjoying the experience. This indie hidden object horror game may not have spine-chilling scares or jump scares, but it creates a unique atmosphere where the horror elements work to enhance the "hidden object" mechanic and the report mechanic, which challenges your memory as you look for and identify anomalies across different rooms. The tension from paranoia adds an extra layer of immersion, making the gameplay even more engaging. The best part, by far, was how the game pulled my friends in. We dove in blindly, memorizing the rooms, only to make mistakes and lose because we started getting paranoid and misleading each other. It was a fun and intense experience that became even more memorable thanks to the way we played together. We got completely hooked, and now I’m planning to buy the next installments so we can keep playing as a team. In conclusion, I highly recommend this game. If you enjoy testing your memory and finding anomalies in a horror setting, it’s definitely worth checking out. At only 3 EUR, it offers a unique and fun experience you won’t want to miss.
