“Buggy piece of sh**. Even in coop mode is nearly unplayable. Story idea is quite good, but realization is catastrophic with so many plot holes that im suprised that this pass any QA tests. Don't buy this, try older…”
“Ignore the negative reviews—I didn’t run into any bugs at all. This is an incredible interactive movie with lots of different variations. The story might feel a bit B-movie, but the game keeps you hooked and intrigued…”

“Overall a weak end to the first season of Dark Pictures. There was a lot of potential but it was all wasted. Co-op is a buggy mess and you're separated a lot. Characters are decent. And the new graphics, lighting, and…”

“I may be in the minority with this but for me this is the best Dark Pictures game so far. I liked the story and setting more than the previous ones. I alse experienced no bugs on my end so that probably helped. 9/10 Visitors in Traps”
