What players say

Players are nearly unanimous that Stray Souls is one of the worst horror games they have played, citing game-breaking bugs, janky controls, and an overreliance on cheap scares. Some also accuse the developer of using AI art and banning community criticism. A few positive voices praise the graphics and soundtrack but admit the gameplay is broken.
