What players say

Players are split on this short horror game. Some praise its atmosphere and sound design, while many others criticize the flashlight battery mechanic that forces constant scavenging for replacements. The 1-3 hour playtime and lack of manual saves are common points, and several reviewers note the threat never feels real.
