“Litery everything about this game is amazing. The lore, the gameplay, the voice acting. It's just a simple 10/10 and you should play it for yourself.”
“Out of all the mascot horror games I've played, this one outstands me. Normally when I play any game, I'd give up after playing for 2 seconds, but this one gives a very exceptional difficultly. The Resident Evil…”

“This one fell flat for me. It came close on many occasions, but just never got engaging or even somewhat creepy (let alone scary).”
“story is boring, combat feels kinda clunky, a lot of the puzzles result in just going back and forth in levels. Not my thing. Thought that the story would improve but it has one kinda anticlimatic reveal. Definetely not…”

“To be completely honest, this game gets impossible VERY fast. Not being able to save my game to get off just gets annoying. To top it all off the puzzle system basicaly requires you to look it up. I hate to be that guy…”
