Second game I've played from this developer and my community and I are again astounded by the game. We are in love.....terrified....well both I should say at how good it was. I also highly admire the way the title screen is implemented in this as described in the "about this game" portion on the steam page. I find it very unique and makes sense with the game. VERY clever! Now, unless my blind self missed it, I didn't see any settings for the game but my computer handled it pretty well. All in all, great graphics, great spooks, ambiance, scares, great game, CERTAINLY worth more than what it costs in my opinion. #iLLaeisApproved https://www.twitch.tv/illaeis/clip/CloudyPlayfulTapirBigBrother-5n5Kc9vmU8LYfFez

The overall atmosphere of the game is creepy and the environment we move through feels unsettling and gives you chills. The audio is well designed, but the game could use more jump scares, scarier models and additional puzzle elements like those with the voodoo dolls. The game has potential and is much better than the developer’s earlier title.

Another great game by JustTomcuk. This is the 4th of 9 games I have played from him as part of a bundle purchase. Very dark, scary atmosphere that is unwelcoming. Very eerie sound design, the screams of torment really got to me. Graphically, it starts off well, but then kinda craps out towards the end. Probably because of the VHS effect. This is a straight up horror walking sim - you’re never in any danger, and you cannot die. Theres not a ton of story, and the puzzles/objectives are pretty straightforward. I would say it is about an 30 minutes long, maybe a little shorter if you are trying to rush everything. I think $4 for a half hour is a little steep, but buying the entire bundle with it’s discount would make better financial sense. This game has no menu/settings to tweak for performance. What you see is what you get. The head bob may bother some people, and without settings to play with, you’re stuck with it. This dev is great. So far, all of his games have been bangers, and playing them in the dark, alone, have been awesome!
