If you expect Granny 2.0, there is so much more to this game. 1. Amazing, tense atmosphere and a striking, unique visual style. 2. Some very deep lore that goes far beyond "Psycho murderer hack slash eat humans" 3. A ton of secrets that are fun to find 4. ACTUAL concequences for making mistakes. The Butcher is fast and deadly, meaning that even in the end of the game, you are still scared of him. I think many horror games lack this part by making enemies either too easy to outrun or too easy to just run them in circles. Play it, its really worth your time

Really enjoyed the vast majority of this game. It establishes an atmosphere and never lets go of it throughout the entire duration- some insanely good ambience here. Genuinely quite scary at times, and I appreciate the sparsity of cheap jumpscares. Scares are mostly earned through tension, which is great. While the bulk of the game is 10/10, some of the longer puzzle sections are truly just tedious and sap away any fear that was previously earned, replaced with the "please let this part end" type of feeling that I fear most games try to avoid. When you get over those sections it goes back to being really good though. As for the endings, I think they all suck. Majorly, majorly disappointing given how much work goes into figuring out how to beat the game. One ending in particular requires such a sheer amount of effort that the cutscene you're presented with feels like the developer trolling you; do not dare to assume that your character can have even one satisfying climax, even if you go out of your way for the harder secret ending. I just doesn't feel like my work was at all rewarded. I wholeheartedly recommend this game but I can't say enough times how upset I am that the endings just didnt deliver- a generational horror game that falls short at what should be the final and most memorable beat, each time. [B] EDIT: I just want to come back to this and say that, while I was very frustrated with the endings initially, that has mostly waned with time & I am left with only fond memories of this game. It is the best horror game I have ever played. I wish I could erase my memory and play it for the first time again. The atmosphere is unlike anything else, and it refuses to relent for the entire runtime. Do yourself a service and play it immediately. I don't want to remove my original review cos it's how I genuinely felt, but I was maybe a bit harsh. [B]

One of the most uncompromising and consistently harrowing survival-horror titles I've ever endured. I adore all things horror and I can with some confidence say that this may very well be one of the most relentlessly frightening experiences I've felt so mercilessly immersed in. It has it's fair share of problems, more than once I took a cheap or glitchy death and lost progress due to a bugs but even that couldn't keep me away. The trail & error moments can be incredibly disheartening and escape truly feels hopeless throughout... But for me, it made conquering the brutal trials and chipping away at the many challenges before you made it feel more rewarding when the walls fall and progress is at long last cemented. SOOTH is impossibly engaging in ways that few games can manage. Your survival is constantly being questioned and tested in ways that border on the supremely sadistic. Yet no matter how tense I felt, how frustrated I was when failure set me back, I just couldn't keep away from this monster of a survival horror experience. Top marks from coming from a horror aficionado and enthusiast. This game is rivaled only by Alien: Isolation & Amnesia: The Bunker in terms of game play scope and raw unimaginable terror. Consider yourself warned, this game does not mess around. It's an endlessly daunting nightmare and one that I just couldn't put down or get out of my head.
