What players say

Players praise the tense atmosphere and escape-room puzzles, but many are frustrated by the lack of a manual save, deaths can send them far back. The stalker sequences are compared to Resident Evil 7's 'Happy Birthday' tape. Opinions are split on whether the horror is effective: some find it boring, others find it genuinely unsettling without relying on jump scares.
