What players say

Players praise the unsettling atmosphere and the journal-and-camera gameplay that drives exploration and puzzle-solving. The art style, hand-drawn with realistic shading then pixelated, consistently surprises. Reviews mention a cast of morally ambiguous characters, multiple endings worth replaying, and no manual save.
