“story seems to be good and interesting the gameplay was quite annoying. We are just left with nothing but control advice and a pick ups are tedious. You have to be in a specific angel sometimes to grab the candle and…”
“Can't recommend as a game as it's really only a barebones concept demo in a largely unfinished environment, but I don't regret buying it as the opening cutscene is possibly the best I've ever seen in a horror game.”
“This game has TONS of potential it's all there, great graphics, great athmosphere, jump scares here and there, etc. But just when I thought the game built up some momentum, it ends... Would have loved to see more story…”

“5 bucks good graphics, 30min playtime, i wish developers got more funding to keep adding to the game. i would say its 4 out of 5 not bc its bad but i get confused on what to do next.”
“Awesome graphics, scary atmosphere. Just way too short sadly. Still worth the 4 euro price tag, see it as a short movie. Would have loved it being longer. It's been a while that a 3rd person game scared the living s***…”

“So I ran around the entire mansion, confuse at what I'm suppose to be doing to progress, as what I would assume would be the room to the ringing phone at the start is lock, then other room seem to be close off, then…”
“It's not optimized, bugged and has still no saves :( No wonder it's free.”

“Unfortunately, the devs have been open with the fact that they've abandoned this game to move on to new efforts. I wish them luck, but I can't recommend what is really just a demo to any new players.”

“I loved everything about this demo until the ending. My god that was beyond annoying! Seemed so RNG to complete. Overshadowed all the good about this demo for me.”
“Pretty promising prototype, I enjoyed it! I played it on Normal but I couldn't really get past the ghost with how frequently it appears around every corner, it felt a little over the top in that regard. I also couldn't…”
