It's essentially the same as it was in the DreadX collection, but with some minor improvements. If you liked it there, you may also like it in standalone form here

This is what I imagined a kidnapper's basement looked like when I was a child, and the trials and tribulations I'd have to go through to escape. If you're off-put by the idea of killing magic ponies, don't worry, they're not very nice. In fact, I'd go as far as to call them mean. Buy this game for the atmosphere, not the combat; it doesn't excel in PvE. Enemies can get stuck on walls, which isn't great for immersion or tension. Being forced to hold either your weapon or flashlight was effective in making me feel the littlest bit more vulnerable than the dark closed-in setting already did. It's a simple gimmick that works as intended, but isn't fleshed out by any notable design. I personally loved the grim, noir lighting and sparse glowing windows and lights. Keep in mind that the main game can be completed in around 30 minutes. (Review updated for The Steam Awards badge)

Love the real passion driven development, fueled from inspirations of the past that I have also experienced. Have never had a bad time playing any of these devs games. What David Szymanski does in regards to games is the exact same thing I want to do. Seriously admirable. Would recommend every single game he's put out.

Better than what the trailer presents, and I love that cheesy music score. It's perfect. Great game. Exceeded expectations. Also it made me yell out loud once.
