May 2025
This game is a piece of history. It came out 9 years ago. Think about all the things it predates. It's much more patient than the average indie horror, even to this day. It's not afraid to let you sit in total silence. It's not afraid to play with lighting in unexpected ways -- even ways that cause you to let your guard down. If anything, the only real flaw of the game is the length. Buy if a couple bucks is worth having some SERIOUS chills. Clowns expecting $40+ indie horrors from developers with a decade of industry hindsight to work with are the only ones whining about the problems. (Side note: I did see a few people talking about bugs, I've never had that problem -- I guess be aware that bugs are possible.) If it's on sale, buy with confidence.

Seemed the Developer had a story to tell and this is his game. I'll recommend it but the story was too depressing to really enjoy.

You must try it! Very nice concept with a good story and ending, there are some jumpscares but the focus is not on them. It's really good.

Although it may not be the most original game, it offers a fresh and intriguing horror experience with a great atmosphere, compelling narrative, decent graphics, and excellent sound design. Considering that it's a short and compact game, I think it's worth trying.

I think the jumpscares are out of place here, otherwise is an actually pretty scary games filled to the brim with creepy moments. It is pretty simple mechanics-wise and it fumbles the ending with something that I don't know if to call it a bug or not. But a good game overall.
