What players say
Players praise the surreal, unsettling atmosphere and unique story that shifts between psychological horror and bizarre fantasy, calling it a cult classic. They note the controls and character movement are clunky and dated, making some puzzles harder, but the experience still holds up and runs well on Steam Deck.
