“max atmosphere, completely unforgiving. I greatly anticipated this game and it delivers. Really does scratch that itch about supernatural things and medicine. I think it falls under the roguelike category as well,…”
“Actually pretty enjoyable game. The art is fitting, from what i've heard there's 12 different endings, your choices have great impact and there's quite a few subtle hints about the situation that is unravelling which I…”

“Before I even talk about this game, I need to get this out the way: this game is not for everyone. If your a fan of psychological horror, and a big of papers please or anything in that style, give this game a chance.…”

“Pretty interesting concept, Papers Please meets Lovecraftian horror. There are a few rough edges, but the devs are very obviously passionate and they care about the players. If you like Papers Please type of gameply, this is a decent choice.”

I had to start from the very start of the game because of it may be a game over…”
