What players say

Players are split on this VR horror game. Many praise the atmosphere and monster design, especially for Lovecraft fans, but nearly everyone reports major bugs, janky controls, and frustrating UI. The constant patches suggest an unfinished product, and those on Valve Index or who want seated play find it nearly unplayable. The game is more of a work in progress than a complete experience.
