“Such a wonderful game. It's definitely not for everyone, it plays like an old fashion point and click game, but the art and music knocks it out of the part. The game does a real good job at building suspense, and has a…”

“We're so back. The game has long periods before a content update drops, but the game is pretty fun. Plus there's mods too!”

“One of the most unique gaming experiences I've ever had! the art style, music and presentation are stellar here, while also offering some of the most addicting rogue-lite gameplay. Currently one of my favorite games on…”

“Game needs some polishing, but has potential: good stories, beautiful art and excruciating difficulty that keeps you always on edge. Most importantly I missed syncing the save to steam cloud and integrating in-game…”
“This game is very fun, super interesting, and has just the right balance of uncomfortable to make you feel right at home. Very few (if any) jump scares-- if you're a scaredy cat like me, this game is just creepy enough…”

“addicting and unsettling im a total wimp when it comes to horror but i can stomach more of the psychological kind even then there are some cases that i avoid on reruns because they freak me out too much 😭😭😭”
“I don't get this game. The art is cool, and the music is nice, but the gameplay is so boring. The game is also not very scary. I say it as someone who easily gets scared. Honestly, it might not just be for me.”

“I contracted, fought, and beat aplastic anemia whilst waiting for this game to be completed. That was five years ago. To say I'm upset with the slow state of development is an understatement. At the same time, there's something about this game that I find highly enjoyable. The…”
— a player, Steam review · 112 hrs played“Most of the mysteries don't have enough branches to fit together well as modular building blocks in a run-based game, you're painfully powerless in the face of RNG, and the game left Early Access for a "1.0" that was still transparently missing content. At it's worst, this game…”
