What players say

Players praise the photorealistic forest and scary atmosphere, but criticize poor optimization, a frustrating inventory system, and the lack of saves for a roughly one-hour game. The voice acting is widely panned as flat, and while most enjoy the atmosphere, some report game-breaking bugs. The fan reception is split, with many calling it a promising but flawed first indie project.
