What players say
Players describe it as a short horror adventure that wears its 1980s Sierra inspirations on its sleeve, with a love-it-or-leave-it grind for money and crafting late in the game. Reviews split on scariness, some find it atmospheric, others say the jump scares are telegraphed and the horror is mild.
