“A pleasant short experience. The opening is quite slow, but the narrative pieces fall into place as the chapters unfold. Gameplay is mostly walking, occasionally interrupted by light, accessible puzzles. The ‘choose…”

“This is a walking simulator with 0 horror and a story that makes 0 sense. Should be $1.99”
“I've played a lot of bad games but this is is beyond abysmal. I can't believe this passes as anything but an unmitigated disaster. Bad acting, horrible story, close to no gameplay, everything in this game is below…”

“While this game isn't bad... The others were right. IT IS lacking stuff. The scenery is beautiful. There are collectables to obtain. The Voice Actor did a good job and I didn't find him annoying at all. At the same time... It wasn't scary... As in... I hadn't laughed once. :<…”
