  • The story is engaging and well-written, creating a strong horror atmosphere.
  • The pixel art, animation, and soundtrack contribute to a fantastic and immersive ambiance.
  • The game concept and horror elements show great potential and originality.
  • Controls are confusing, overly complicated, and poorly explained, causing player frustration.
  • The lack of checkpoints and save system leads to repetitive restarts after deaths, worsening the gameplay experience.
  • Players cannot skip dialogue or cutscenes, which makes repeated failures tedious and breaks immersion.

  • story

    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    50% positive mentions, 29% neutral mentions, 21% negative mentions

    The story is widely praised as interesting, well-written, and a key highlight of the game, with many users considering it the game's strong point. However, frustrating gameplay mechanics, lack of instructions, and absence of save points significantly hinder enjoyment and the ability to fully appreciate the narrative. Despite its compelling plot, these issues make the game difficult to recommend in its current state.

    • “The story is really interesting, and I love how it's written.”
    • “Sadly I can't recommend it in its state right now even though the story is amazing.”
    • “The story is peak honestly, definitely recommend.”
    • “I am really into the story and want to play the game more, but the fact that you can't skip and have to wait for long periods of time takes all the fun out of solving the puzzles.”
    • “Look, the game seems okay and has a decent enough story, but the electricity puzzle is quite brutal, being an instant death given the almost zero instruction and no feedback on whether the wires are correct or not.”
    • “This was made by Afghan children that are in debt with the mafia, so they have to make unfinished games to pay back the money. I hope the creator sees this. The game is super interesting and the only game I wanted to play in a long time, but apart from the story and the artwork, everything else is so trash I genuinely want to cry. I had to use ChatGPT to look up the controls as the game doesn't explain anything apart from basic keys.”

  • gameplay

    13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    31% positive mentions, 46% neutral mentions, 23% negative mentions

    The gameplay is widely criticized for poor controls, frustrating mechanics, lack of controller support, and an unforgiving checkpoint system, which many find punishing rather than enjoyable. Players also express frustration over the absence of skip options for cutscenes and unclear or overly precise mechanics, though some praise the puzzle balance and atmosphere. Overall, the gameplay feels underdeveloped and needs significant improvement to enhance player experience.

    • “The game is very good, the atmosphere and soundtrack met my expectations, the puzzles are very well balanced, and the gameplay is excellent.”
    • “I get that this is a demo, but it's still a mechanic that needed explaining.”
    • “-chest searching mechanic, in my opinion, is not explained properly and is overly precise.”
    • “There's no excuse to launch a game with such bad controls (not even controller support) and horrible mechanics.”
    • “I only played for 10 minutes and dropped it simply because the game wouldn't let me play; it stuck me in a long cutscene full of dialogue with no option to skip that part and go straight to the gameplay... boring as hell.”
    • “I am quite frustrated with the mechanics of the game and the checkpoint system; the game is around 30 minutes long but I couldn't figure things out for a long time and it seems the achievements don't work.”

  • graphics

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    75% positive mentions, -25% neutral mentions, 50% negative mentions

    The game's graphics feature a compelling and beautiful art style with superb animation and effective horror elements that create a strong atmosphere. However, some technical and design shortcomings detract from the overall experience.

    • “The music creates a fantastic atmosphere, and the art style and animation's depiction of gore are superb.”
    • “This game has a beautiful artstyle that makes me want to engage with it and make it to the end.”
    • “The artstyle and the horror elements are there, making it a promising short horror game.”
    • “The game is super interesting and the story and artwork stand out, but apart from that, everything else, including graphics, is so trash I genuinely want to cry.”
    • “The art style and horror elements are present, but issues with graphics contribute to turning what should be a good, promising short horror game into an hour of frustration.”

  • atmosphere

    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The game's atmosphere is highly praised for its effective sense of dread, fantastic soundtrack, and superb art style, creating an immersive survival horror experience.

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    Grinding in the game is notably tedious due to repetitive dialogues and unskippable cutscenes, which disrupt the flow. Frequent deaths force players to restart from checkpoints, adding to the frustration and making progression feel slow and repetitive.

    • “Having to sit through the same conversations over and over again became very tedious.”
    • “The checkpoints are tedious—if you get killed by puzzle traps or even by the collapsing ceiling hitting you, you have to start over, and sometimes that’s pretty frustrating.”
    • “You can't skip dialogues or cutscenes, which makes the game incredibly boring and tedious.”

  • humor

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    50% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 50% negative mentions

    Users find the humor attempts in the game to be ineffective and frustrating, often overshadowed by challenging gameplay that leads to repeated failures. Jokes, such as those referencing certain number combinations, are seen as unfunny and detract from the overall experience.

  • music

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The music in the game is highly praised for creating a fantastic atmosphere that complements the overall experience. It effectively enhances the mood alongside the art style and gameplay.

    • “The music creates a fantastic atmosphere, and the art style and animation's depiction of gore are superb.”
