“very short game but it is scary, not the "jump scare omg there's something chasing me" kind of scary but the "there's something wrong what's going on" kind of scary. definitely would recommend a playthrough for fans of VHS style horror”

“the last room remind of me of Dexter and American Psycho, anything else its as if a portal to a room of Jeffrey Dahmer”

“The game is incredibly short and basic, though the story told is interesting and pretty dark. The visuals and sound design is off the charts and adds a lot to what we got. Overall this game is worth the few minutes.”
