How it feels

What players say

Players call it a pixel-art loveletter to classic Resident Evil and Silent Hill, set in 19th century New England with Lovecraftian monsters. The game takes roughly 6 hours and has four endings, but players split on difficulty: some find combat laughably easy, others die in one hit on hard mode. A common complaint is the inability to skip dialogue during boss fights.
