  • story
    124 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it intriguing and atmospheric, while others describe it as confusing and disjointed. Many appreciated the horror elements and the use of VHS tapes to unfold the narrative, but noted that the execution could be improved for better clarity. Overall, while the story has its compelling moments, it often leaves players feeling lost or frustrated due to its complexity and lack of guidance.

    • “The video cassettes allow you to experience the story from the perspective of the game's 'other' character, bringing in some distinctly gruesome and uncomfortable material that made a nice juxtaposition to the journalist's investigative slant.”
    • “The story was also compelling and had my friends and I piecing together the puzzle between the VHS tapes and real-time gameplay.”
    • “The atmosphere got intense, scary parts started to happen and the story got more and more interesting.”
    • “I got lost on the story pretty quickly as I just lost interest in it.”
    • “There is a story, but it really is pretty incoherent and disjointed, more of an abstract set of circumstances.”
    • “There's no story, it's just wandering in a building that's haunted and dark and trying to backtrack where to go is a headache.”
  • atmosphere
    90 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere of the game is widely praised for its intense creepiness and immersive sound design, effectively creating a sense of dread and suspense throughout. Many players noted the game's ability to evoke fear through subtle details, such as moving objects and eerie soundscapes, despite some criticism regarding pacing and gameplay mechanics. Overall, it is considered one of the most atmospheric titles from Chilla's Art, successfully balancing horror elements with a hauntingly realistic environment.

    • “Atmospherically creepy, I loved the sounds and some of the subtle but amazing things like dolls turning to watch you or statues moving to surround you as you pass certain tasks.”
    • “The atmosphere was amazing!!”
    • “Its strong point is its atmosphere; it's beyond creepy, to the point I was often afraid of turning around in the game, fearing what I would see.”
    • “Although the atmosphere is very tense and creepy, I felt like it was mostly a walking simulator than horror... and the 'jump scares' don't really make sense with what's going on in the narrative and feel more like an afterthought.”
    • “The only pros I can think of is that the atmosphere/setting is scary, but the lack of gameplay and jump scares really hurts this game.”
    • “This game really feels like a copy/paste of other productions from the past, and although the trademark atmosphere has to be kept (and this game is not the case, it feels very weak), some changes would be beneficial to the game.”
  • graphics
    54 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics in this game are widely praised as the best Chilla's Art has produced, featuring impressive environmental detail and a near photo-realistic aesthetic that enhances the immersive horror experience. While the visuals are generally clean and atmospheric, some players reported graphical bugs, such as black boxes and stuttering issues, which detracted from the overall experience. Despite these minor flaws, the combination of retro VHS effects and uncanny character models effectively contributes to the game's creepy atmosphere.

    • “The environmental detail is the best Chilla's Art has done; the graphics and model work complement it nicely. It's immersive and visually looks great, near photo-realistic at times, which is a first for them, and they pulled it off really well.”
    • “As always, the graphics have that retro VHS feel and uncanny valley character models, which help to really establish the creepy atmosphere along with the sound design.”
    • “I truly don't understand what there is to not like about this game; it's disturbing and the found footage mechanic is creepy, and the graphics looked incredible.”
    • “Sadly, there are many graphic bugs with black boxes.”
    • “At all graphics levels, there is constant stuttering where the game pauses, and when it unpauses, my view is drastically different.”
    • “There is some roughness around the edges—certain (unintended) artifacting with some graphical elements, as well as some unpolished assets.”
  • gameplay
    42 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is generally described as simple and straightforward, primarily involving walking around and collecting items, which some players find boring and unexciting. While it features familiar mechanics typical of Chilla's Art games, many reviewers note that it lacks the depth and engagement of previous titles, making it feel like the weakest aspect of the experience. However, the horror elements and graphics receive praise, suggesting that the game may still be worth a playthrough for fans of the genre.

    • “The gameplay was very straightforward and didn't need a lot of explanation to find everything we needed to complete the game.”
    • “The horror style they've gone for is well done and the gameplay is good.”
    • “I will be honest, the gameplay in this game sucks.”
    • “Gameplay is mostly restrictive exploration through the house in which you are trying to find the next item/location to develop the story.”
    • “Gameplay is the weakest part; it's a walking simulator where you walk around and collect stuff, not the most exciting thing to do.”
  • optimization
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization has been widely criticized, with players reporting significant performance issues such as constant stuttering, lag, and slow loading times, regardless of graphics settings. Many users experienced game-breaking problems, including story progression locks, indicating a lack of effective optimization overall.

    • “At all graphics levels, there is constant stuttering where the game pauses, and when it unpauses, my view is drastically different.”
    • “Could use some optimization though; the game will stutter and lag at times, and it also loads in slowly.”
    • “I had a lot of issues with the game, including performance issues coupled with the fact that the story locked, and I couldn't advance any further.”
  • humor
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is described as a mix of intentional and unintentional moments, with some players finding comedic elements in the absurdity of the horror scenarios, such as the amusing appearance of the antagonist. While the game aims for a serious horror atmosphere, certain aspects, like the portrayal of bizarre characters and situations, inadvertently evoke laughter, leading to a unique blend of tension and humor. Overall, the humor adds an enjoyable layer to the experience, even if it occasionally undermines the intended horror.

    • “The bad guy's face was not scary at all; if anything, it was a bit funny, which broke the horror atmosphere.”
    • “The atmosphere in this game is enjoyable; the realism is palpable. I can honestly say I had fun searching the darkness for clues of insane talking dead things living in smelly objects wanting fruition from all they left behind. There were some very funny moments in this master class of breaking into abandoned places.”
    • “The ChillasArt fan community seems to want exactly the opposite of me, because in my opinion, this was definitely the best thing the two of them have produced in a very long time. Night Security was a real transitional step at a solid level, and Jisatsu unfortunately missed a few opportunities, but it was convincing as a pure horror experience on a completely different level than its unintentionally funny predecessors.”
  • monetization
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

The frequent release of new titles, often described as "cash grabs," has contributed to a decline in the overall quality of their offerings.

    • “So, Chilla's Art is currently on the decline when it comes to the games they make now. It feels like it's quick cash grabs now with games releasing about a month or so apart; there's no substance to their games anymore.”
    • “This game feels like a cash grab to me.”
    • “A blank game to cash grab.”
  • music

    The music effectively enhances the game's atmosphere, creating a sense of tension and unease without being overwhelmingly scary. It complements the graphic style and sound design, contributing to an immersive experience that keeps players on edge.

    • “The music kind of makes it scary but not too much.”
    • “You are always on edge, and it does such an amazing job with the graphic style, music, and environmental sound design!”
    • “The music kind of makes it scary but not so much.”
  • grinding
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players consistently express that the grinding required in the game is excessively time-consuming, suggesting that it feels like a second job or life is necessary to keep up with the demands.

    • “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
  • replayability
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game offers limited replayability due to its single ending, which contrasts with other titles in the genre. However, players find that the impactful and entertaining nature of this ending makes the journey worthwhile.

    • “Unlike other CA games, there's only one ending on offer here, so replayability is limited; however, that single ending is impactful and entertaining, and well worth the journey to get there.”
  • stability
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users report significant stability issues, particularly with camera glitches that result in sharp cuts and darkness, making it challenging to follow gameplay. These technical problems detract from the overall experience.

    • “Not to mention the darkness and camera glitches (sharp cuts), which make it difficult to see what's even happening.”
  • emotional
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Reviews indicate that the game may not resonate emotionally with players seeking a more realistic and topical experience, suggesting it might be better suited for those who prefer a different emotional tone.
