How it feels

A tense and fast-paced supernatural thriller that feels like an arcade-action shooter with a cinematic story.

What players say

Players say this is a short arcade-like spin-off that trades the first game's horror for pulpy fun. Combat feels improved, but the story is weaker and missions become repetitive because of the time-loop structure.
