What players say

Players call The Blackwood Project a promising but very short proof-of-concept horror game, lasting around 15 minutes. Praise goes to the atmosphere and light-based mechanic that reveals enemies, but many criticize clunky combat, a lack of ammo respawn, and performance or bug problems on some hardware.
