What players say

Players praise the artsy horror and SCP-inspired setting, with creative enemy designs like the infamous rocking horse. The challenge leans on memorizing paths while avoiding enemies, which some find frustratingly trial‑and‑error. A strong soundtrack and voice acting by known talent are frequently mentioned.
