“The game wasn't updated since December 2025, most assets are just asset flips from other games (like Demonologist), and even though the gameplay is fun for a few hours, the game after a few rounds feels too repetitive.…”
“i love being chased constantly by scary monsters while my girlfriend laughs at me lovely game, especially for when A (she knows who she is) gets bricks thrown at her also very scary”
“Great game. Beat all the maps with my 4 buddies. All the people saying this game sucks just never beat Granny or even played Granny types games which this is. It is meant to be hard and at times can be a little buggy…”

“janky but fun. If you play solo probably gonna be a bad experience. But with friends in proximity chat is absolutely jokes. The jankyness gives the game charm.”
“Nice with friends The game is about finding way out, each level have 2 ending and one entity. Mostly just running around places if ur Solo. Uncommunicative = Boring Solo = Boring This game based on ur voice and fool…”
“We said ''stay together.'' We did not stay together. I heard screaming. It wasn't the monster. 10/10 friendship tester.”

“Found this game fun to play with friends! The Asylum was by far the creepiest for me with how it messes with your mind!”
“very fun game but can get Repetitive fairly fast I feel like there is alot more which could be added and Im sure will be like some more monsters. Another edition which would be cool is more jump scares positives…”
“worth the price tag constantly adding maps. would like for the mic detector for the AI to be a bit polished theres times i don't make a noise and it registers otherwise but besides that fun time with friends and I love…”

“The game is absolute fun and I enjoy playing it in a group of 4 with my buddies. We always have a laugh and fun moments despite the game being sometimes bit janky and buggy. It is understandable as 2 people are working…”
“Was buggy when I last played (Monster was stuck on a table lmao) and was pretty boring when the Monster wasn't stuck Edit: Monster is less buggy now, good for some quick fun I wouldn't recommend unless you like…”
