What players say

Players praise the dark atmosphere and intriguing story of a man restarting his life in a quiet town, but many note the game ends in a cliffhanger, awaiting a sequel. The controls feel clunky and jump scares are more amusing than frightening, while some find the puzzles tricky and note the two endings are nearly identical.
