What players say

Players praise the faithful adaptation of the Arai-san Mansion source material and the intriguing rule-like horror puzzles, but warn that the game is extremely difficult without a guide. The deckbuilding element is minimal and serves puzzle-solving. After the ending, there is little to do beyond grinding scores, and the random floor gimmicks feel repetitive.
