  • story
    63 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story has received mixed reviews, with many players finding it slow-paced and lacking emotional engagement, often describing it as a "story-dump" filled with unnecessary tasks and predictable twists. While some appreciated the atmospheric elements and the connection to real-life events, others felt the narrative was convoluted and poorly executed, leading to a lack of investment in the plot. Overall, the game struggles to balance its storytelling with gameplay, leaving some players disappointed despite a few positive remarks about its potential and intriguing moments.

    • “Really enjoyed the story on this one.”
    • “The story is phenomenal!”
    • “I was very satisfied with the story and the plot twist at the end, which genuinely caught me off guard.”
    • “The story didn’t grab me at all — zero emotional pull, just… there.”
    • “It’s more story-dump than horror: reading letters and listening to tapes placed in the weirdest spots.”
    • “The story is boring, not at all scary, and the ending drags on and on to the point I wanted to cry.”
  • gameplay
    22 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some players finding certain mechanics, like photography and climbing, tedious and frustrating, while others appreciated the atmospheric elements and simple interactions that drive the story forward. Many noted that the gameplay is intentionally slow, focusing more on narrative and atmosphere than on complex mechanics, which may not appeal to everyone. Overall, while there are enjoyable aspects, the gameplay can feel prolonged and simplistic at times.

    • “The environment, the sound design, the mechanics—all above average.”
    • “To break up the storytelling, the game introduces a few simple mechanics: driving a car, taking and shaking polaroid photos, climbing, and mainly light survival elements where you must reach the next campsite before freezing.”
    • “That said, I did appreciate the addition of new mechanics like reading notes, listening to cassette tapes, and taking pictures with the camera—they added some depth to the experience.”
    • “The impression left by this game seems like it was designed specifically to make you wait through painfully slow cutscenes and by fires as a 'game mechanic' to ensure you absolutely exceed Steam's playtime limit for refunds.”
    • “Admittedly, the gameplay in this episode is very slow.”
    • “The gameplay is confusing and downright frustrating.”
  • atmosphere
    13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere of the game is a mixed bag, with some players praising its chilling, bleak, and unsettling qualities, particularly in snowy mountain settings that enhance the story's tension.

    • “Spooky, mysterious, and atmospheric.”
    • “The atmosphere is fantastic: bleak, lonely, and genuinely unsettling.”
    • “The atmosphere is chilling, the pacing is tight, and the experience is unforgettable.”
    • “There’s barely any atmosphere or tension, and no real scares… easily the weakest episode so far.”
    • “No atmosphere really unless you enjoy snow and wind, not any worthwhile jump-scares, and not a very good plot.”
    • “Since the focus is on story and atmosphere, the gameplay is deliberately simple—you can move around and interact with your surroundings, but interaction is minimal and mostly limited to key hotspots that drive the story forward.”
  • graphics
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are praised for their unique style and stunning visuals, contributing to an engaging atmosphere that enhances the storytelling.

  • grinding
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
    • “I found the task of climbing the mountain to be very tedious.”
    • “It’s the same tedious cycle over and over: hike up a mountain, encounter bizarre hallucinations that make no sense, stop to warm up, and then continue the hike.”
  • stability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users report stability issues, particularly noting that the game often feels like a walking simulator due to NPCs freezing when players attempt to move faster, leading to frustrating gameplay experiences.

    • “The game crashes frequently, making it nearly unplayable at times.”
    • “I often encounter bugs that cause the game to freeze, forcing me to restart.”
