“Great game. It's like a test for how far you can get exploring a horror based map, without letting the fear get to you. It's a big map, and there is a lot to find.”

“Bought this early and loved the concept. Came back after a year and it feels like a whole new survival horror experience. If you like jump scares and tension, this delivers.”
