Reviews
- The graphics and atmosphere are impressive for a low-budget indie game.
- The gun controls feel smooth, and there are some decent jump scares.
- It's a good introductory VR experience for beginners, offering a mix of puzzles and combat.
- The game is plagued by numerous bugs, clunky mechanics, and unfair enemy spawns.
- Puzzles are simplistic and often feel more like item retrieval than actual challenges.
- The gameplay experience is marred by motion sickness, poor enemy animations, and inconsistent controls.

The story of the game is described as decent but somewhat cheesy, with a linear approach that suits VR well. However, many players found the execution lacking due to technical issues, such as overlapping storylines and poor readability of text, which detracted from the overall experience. Despite these flaws, some users appreciated the basic horror elements and found it to be an acceptable introduction to the genre, especially given its low price point.
“It tried to tell a story and be linear about it, which is a good way to go for VR.”
“Despite being basic, the story is acceptable and offers a replayable event.”
“Good old school story mode level design, though hoping the next one is better.”
“Unfortunately, this game runs awfully and is virtually unplayable. The game shakes if you walk into a wall, the zombies just spawn in front of you killing you instantly, the health system doesn't work, the controls are awful, storylines play over each other, text goes off the screen so it's literally impossible to read, and lots more.”
“However, within a €2 range, I feel you get what you paid for, which is an acceptable introduction to a horror environment with a jumpscare here or there, few, despite basic, puzzles, an okay, despite brief, story and a replayable event.”
“Also, the school doesn't actually have a level; it's a plot point. The first level is the hospital, but on Quest, it's just not an enjoyable experience.”

The graphics of the game are generally praised for their impressive visuals, especially considering the small studio behind it, but many reviewers note that they lack polish and can appear blurry at times. While the atmosphere and design are appreciated, clunky mechanics and outdated controls detract from the overall experience, leading to a sense that the game feels unfinished. Improvements in graphical fidelity and environmental interaction could enhance the gameplay and justify the game's price.
“The visuals are very impressive for a small studio.”
“The graphics are great.”
“The graphics, despite the need for a bit of polish here and there, are actually quite acceptable by comparison with everything else.”
“If I didn't know the price of the game, I would likely not recommend it, simply because I would assume, due to being a finished game (or at least not in early access), that it would be overpriced for the amount of content, graphics, mechanics, etc.”
“I believe that if the graphics were a bit more polished, physics reviewed, and there was a bit more interaction with the environment, it could easily improve the experience and further justify the cost.”
“Sorry, but it's not for me. Outdated controls, torch stuck in left hand, blurry graphics, can't upscale in the Steam menu. I would rather they spent more time on the game and graphics and increased the price.”

The gameplay of this game is marred by clunky mechanics and unfair enemy spawns, leading to a frustrating experience that often feels like a chore. While the atmosphere and graphics are praised, the basic weapon mechanics and frequent instant-kill scenarios detract significantly from the overall enjoyment, making it hard to recommend despite its appealing aesthetics. With more polish and balance, the gameplay could improve, but currently, it leaves much to be desired.
“Gameplay and resources in the game are very attractive.”
“The weapon mechanics are basic and usually I would suggest improving them, but I don't feel that is what this game should focus on.”
“Not as fun as I had imagined, too many instant kill mechanics where the enemies just kill you even if your health is full.”
“This game has some things going for it, like the atmosphere is good and graphics are on the good side, but in the end, the mechanics and animations are just too clunky and that makes it feel like a chore to play.”
“Also, the game is quite unfair in various sections, so you are forced to replay the whole level because of clunky mechanics and unfair enemy spawns.”
“Not as fun as I had imagined; there are too many instant kill mechanics where the enemies just kill you even if your health is full.”

“The game lacks significant content to encourage multiple playthroughs; once you've experienced it, there's little incentive to return.”
“While the initial experience is enjoyable, the lack of varied outcomes or new content makes replaying feel more like a chore than a choice.”
