“such a cool little game. paid $1.39 for it so i was not disappointed in the game length. do i wish it was longer? hell ya i do! it was such an incredible short play. the atmosphere and sound fx were great. the lighting was superb. definitely left me wanting more. but for that…”
— a player, Steam review · 1 hrs played“Short and sweet. On a value level, probably not worth $5. But on a quality level, well worth every penny. The visuals are phenomenal, the sound design excellent, the overarching escape room puzzle a blast to figure out. And oh, the tension. Scariest game I've played all year so…”
— a player, Steam review · 1 hrs played“Nope. Kept getting stuck and kept getting killed. No save option, you go all the way back to the start if you get caught. Had to watch a yootoob video to figure out how to finish the game. Thumbs down.”
