What players say
Players describe Writer. Chapter 1 as a very short horror game, finishing in 15 minutes to 1.5 hours. They praise the visuals and some jumpscares, but many find the story absent or confusing and some puzzles, especially those involving mannequins, frustrating or reliant on brute force.
