Jan. 2026

the scariest part was when it wouldnt let me close the game after i beat it

Oct. 2025

Its absolutely horrible. every 3 seconds i want to quit so i absolutely recommend it for others. if your horror game isnt making you want to cry its failing. outlast makes me want to rip my hair out.

July 2025

I was too scared to leave the cabinet , but I'm sure the game's fun.

June 2025

There are two things I am scared of. Getting chased. And getting raped. This game managed to check both those fuckass boxes. Why the fuck do the twins not have underwear on? I'm not trying to play duck or fuck simulator. I am also afraid of a few other things. Not being able to fucking see, not being able to fucking open doors, not being able to fucking hide, running out of fucking batteries. And a few other scary things. This game perfectly manages to add all of these aspects without balancing them at all. 10/10 Will never play again.
