Oct. 2024
Super creepy and unsettling until the last few nights. I felt VERY uneasy for a majority of this game. Much of the game was simply series of tasks that would lead to "happenings" which I very much enjoyed. Unfortunately, the final few nights turned into more of a tower defense sort of situation that didn't match the vibes of the initial nights. Regardless, the entire game is absolutely worth the bargain basement price. Don't let the PS1 graphics turn you off!

Primitive graphics, yet oddly unnerving atmosphere. Humans do have a knack for creating discomfort.

This game is nearly flawless and quite scary. The fact that in my playthrough the only child that died was caused by me accidentally shooting them added a lot to the experience. I think the main flaw was the last night leaned a little too difficult to survive which had a somewhat negative effect on the overall pacing and flow of the horror. Oh and if you see this comment, there seems to be an issue where people can't open the game. If that happens this is how to fix it. You can right click on the game in your library. Click on properties. Paste this code into the launch options: cmd /c "set OPENSSL_ia32cap=:~0x20000000 && %command%" And then you can close that window and it should play like normal.

This game absolutely nails suspense and jump scares. Great story and super well done cutscenes that leave you constantly guessing what will happen next or what is actually going on. Easily one of the scariest games I've played since Alien:Isolation but this is far more cerebral while still having great cat/mouse gameplay.
