What players say
Players praise the EVP recording mechanic and chilling sound design for creating a dread-filled atmosphere, while noting the graphics are dated and the puzzles can be frustratingly obscure. Many find the game unique and meditative, but opinions split on whether the clunky gameplay and poor level design outweigh the creepy vibes.
