“It's interesting, Its like the off name brand version of dead by daylight or something like that. Its ok, probably could run off of two toasters connected simutainuisly? Its eh”
“personal preference (last played: 2020): for what I recall, I didn't enjoy the action and ambiguous gameplay of this game, personally I would've substituted for 'Dead By Daylight' or 'Friday the 13th'”
