What players say

Players applaud its challenging puzzles, eerie atmosphere, and occult-inspired Gothic story set in a sprawling mansion. It draws comparisons to classic 90s adventure games and Silent Hill, though some find its multilayered endings confusing without a guide. A few note the animation is awkward and remind others to save often due to occasional crashes.
