“Thoroughly enjoyed the story and the different paths to the ending. Nice little Dead By Daylight easter eggs and collectibles scattered throughout, just needs to be made into a chapter on DBD to really top it off! Not…”
“Decent story actually, liked it more than other Supermassive games. Scratches the lovecraftian/horror itch until Directive 8020 Just sit back and enjoy the story unfold, and dont be too uptight about the choices…”
“AMAZING GAME, absolute cinema!”
11 of the 103 reviews raise this.
“I think it was a good experience. The game managed to build a nice and tense atmosphere. The graphics are good. I encountered a few technical issues with the game itself like teleporting fellows or some unmatching…”
“It's more like a walking-simulator than any of the other Supermassive Games, but a quite good one. The voice acting is good and the graphics are superb - although there is still no ultra-widescreen support, which almost…”
“this game reminds me of the quarry, a small decision can lead to the death of a character and every choice leads to a different outcome. i finished the game and its a perfect 9/10 ( my opinion is biased because i love…”

“I paid 50€ for this game at release only to play it twice and never again. Truly an uninteresting game only deepening my belief that Supermassive Games fell off HARD.”
“I came into this game as someone who began playing Dead by Daylight in 2018 and really loves its lore, so my review is not about the game's technicalities but rather its story. I get what the Supermassive devs tried to…”
“this game is absolute dogcaca”

“this game is a pile of farts. there is no point to your actions.”
“If you get this game. Don't expect many choices that matter. Of those choices, you can't really infer what will happen. Even if you could, you won't care what happens as the story makes no sense and the characters…”
“the most "meh" story game ever. its fine. pricewise i can't recommend it though.”

“Before anything, threat this review as more of a rant about the optimization I have no idea what they did, but something went horribly wrong. Even with a decent PC you probably will have to use some AI upscaling/frame…”
“I really wanted to like The Casting of Frank Stone, but the technical state of the game makes it hard to recommend. The biggest issue is persistent stuttering, even on capable hardware. This isn’t occasional—it actively…”
“I should've listened the reviews, the game is so poorly optimized”

“This game is definetely full of bugs, but most of them are visual bugs.. Not softlocks or anything. When it comes to replayability and earning achievements, this game is awesome. The web feature is honestly so cool and…”
“Glitch in the final cutscene making it so you cant finish the game? Why would I expect anything less from the creators of dead by daylight. Off to youtube i go because replaying a walking simulator with story…”

“I'm going to be honest, I only got this game because it was on sale, and because of the free cosmetics in Dead by Daylight. My main survivor, Vee, did not even get the shirt (as of March 2026 (Every current original…”
“for those who gonna buy it for full price, pls don't.”
“Buy deluxe edition only for dbd.”

“Casual playthrough ~5 hours No spoilers in this review! Played on the Steam Deck @MatureContent Beside the horrible optimization, this is in my opinion one of the better games from Supermassive Games. There is a perfect balance between gameplay and cutscenes, where the gameplay…”
— a player, Steam review · 5 hrs played“I truly can't understand the hate. The story was good, the sound was good, the graphics are great. It's basically just a visual novel/naughty dog type of game. I loved this hybrid of cut scene/gameplay and I missed some QTEs not being ready for them. It's a little on the shorter…”
