Must-play for "Devour" fans as it's set in the same universe and extends on lore a lot. Very different in gameplay though but totally would be appreciated for what it has to offer. Overall, great 2-player coop stealth game with classic puzzle mechanics. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3474076081

A fun (and a little frustrating) 2-player horror puzzle game. It doesn't take too long to complete, and if you have a friend who is willing to play this with you, I'd highly recommend! You can play with strangers, but it's much more goofy and entertaining with a friend!

اللعبة جميلة جدا! إذا أنت شخص يحب العاب الهروب والالغاز راح تعجبك مرة. فيها تحدي شوي, لكنها ممتعة جدا. أنصح باللعب مع شخص تمون عليه, تصير أمتع أكثر هههه
