What players say

Players are split on this game, with many calling it a walking simulator that strips back the stealth, puzzles, and sanity systems from The Dark Descent, offering only a couple of monster encounters. Praise focuses on the story, atmosphere, and soundtrack, while criticism highlights the short length (under 5 hours) and reduced interactivity.
