“Simple but enjoyable game! Would recommend. It's got great jumpscares and atmosphere and a reasonable difficulty curve that keeps you on your toes. Even better if you can get your friends gathered around your computer to help you spot anomalies.”

“Its a graphic memory game. The complete series is a fun memory game. You have too look very close sometimes too spot the difference...Sometime i just wish you could move the camera a few degrees and zoom into objects...that would be a fun plus...”

“As cool as the previous 4. Maybe a bit cooler, as the new reporting method is nice.”
