How it feels

A collection of dark interactive horror and thriller stories where each choice deepens the sense of dread and leads to different outcomes.

What players say

Players praise the collection's variety of disturbing short horror stories, each with multiple endings. The value is good for the price, but performance is a real issue: the game runs the CPU and GPU hard with uncapped frames, and 'Speak, Lord' lacks a seizure warning. Players are split on replaying for all endings, some finding the lack of a fast-forward or gallery tedious.
