“I love horror games, and this one is real scary. You almost never feel safe, and the enemies are relentless.”
“Entering this game I thought it was going to be some cheesy mid game, yet as a dog lover, watching Dani get forced into that sewer kept me motivated to play until I found Dani and reached the end. It ended up being a…”
“Probably one of the scariest games I have ever played. I have restarted this 4 times now and each time I have to play with my eyes squinted. Basically one hour per restart, which is also per year because I am terrified…”

“I'm sorry, but i tried getting into this game repeatedly. 2018, 2023, 2026... And no matter how much i try, every single time — i just end up bored and let down by Lost in Vivo. This is such a slog. Every couple of…”
“Thank you, [b]Lost in Vivo[/b]. Now I’m afraid of the sewer system and tunnels in general. In this extremely claustrophobic and haunting atmosphere, you cannot live without anxiety jamming behind your head where the…”

“Your dog fell down a drain! But instead of finding her, you experience the horrors... of trains coming to life, and those trains are hungry for YOU! Ugly bugs and rats who are hungry for your eyes. This game was…”

“Very atmospheric and scary, the enemies were the highlight of the game. The puzzles ranged from extremely easy to frustratingly difficult but not because they were hard to understand but because there was no explanation…”
“Decent small indie horror game, very gloomy and creepy, resembling Silent Hill and Cry of Fear vibes, the combat isn't very good, level design is nice - no annoying confusions, but the corridors are sometimes repetitive…”
“Absolutely wonderful game. I remember watching a playthrough when I was younger and I always wanted to try it out myself. I am really glad that I was finally able to play it now even tho my laptop is really weak. It…”

“Don't waste your time on this game, terrible pacing, not scary, no sense of direction and the story doesn't make sense. I tried super hard to enjoy this game and I tried hard to understand the story and what's going on.…”
“Do you find it scary to fight 10 of the same enemy in a row while walking down a bare hallway? Play this game.”

“An excellent horror title that sorta feels like a mix of Silent Hill and Half-life. While the gameplay/combat/puzzles are pretty basic, the atmosphere/sound/art direction is top-notch! Much of the presentation here is something straight of a nightmare; bizarre creatures, cold…”

— a player, Steam review · 2 hrs played“Its alright but it was definitely the weakest of Kira's games. It slows down to a crawl and none of the enemies really pose an actual threat at any point in the game. The only time death feels like a punishment is when you're forced to sit through one of the long walking…”
