What players say
Players describe a short, atmospheric horror game heavy on find-the-key puzzles and instant-kill enemies. Many say the torch is useless and the lighting is too dark. Sentiment is split: some call it a unique and scary experience, others find it generic and repetitive. A few reviewers note it ends on a cliffhanger with no follow-up.
