atmosphere9 positive mentions
optimization3 negative mentions
  • Impressive achievement for a 14-year-old solo developer with solid atmosphere and graphics.
  • Good monster design and effective horror elements, especially the final chase sequence.
  • Free to play with a short but engaging experience and some moments of genuine scares.
  • Very short gameplay with minimal interaction, puzzles, or story depth; feels more like a tech demo.
  • Camera and control issues including high sensitivity without adjustable settings, motion blur, and clipping problems.
  • Performance problems and bugs such as low frame rates, collision glitches, and limited sound or music.

  • atmosphere

    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    56% positive mentions, 25% neutral mentions, 19% negative mentions

    The game delivers a strong, creepy atmosphere centered around a hospital setting with well-designed monsters that enhance the horror experience. While the environment and lighting effectively evoke suspense, some feel the scare factor and musical choices could be improved to better complement the mood. Overall, the atmosphere is immersive and a key highlight despite the game's short length and gameplay simplicity.

    • “It has immense atmosphere, believable environment with a lot of props without being laggy.”
    • “All around, atmospheric lighting helps evoke a sense of dreaded suspense as shocking scenes of barbarism, mutilation, brutality, and bloodshed paint a harrowing picture, issuing frightening reminders of the demonic monster's horrific malevolence.”
    • “Its spine-chilling atmosphere, intricate storytelling, and skillfully designed gameplay combine to create an experience that will have you on the edge of your seat from start to finish.”
    • “Both horror and atmosphere are there; however, it lacks the scare factor, and the only thing keeping you from uncovering the story is your will to push on, regardless of how 'low budget' people say the game is.”
    • “The monster only appears at the end and plays royalty-free chase music that does not fit the atmosphere.”
    • “The atmosphere is decent, the hospital setting works well enough, and the monster design was probably the highlight of the game.”

  • story

    13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    23% positive mentions, 54% neutral mentions, 23% negative mentions

    The story receives mixed feedback, with many finding it lacking in depth, coherence, and a meaningful plot, while the atmosphere and horror elements are praised. Some users appreciate the creepy setting and brief story fitting for a shorter game, but others feel the narrative is confusing, abrupt, or underdeveloped. Overall, the story could benefit from clearer character roles and a more engaging plot to enhance the experience.

    • “Its spine-chilling atmosphere, intricate storytelling, and skillfully designed gameplay combine to create an experience that will have you on the edge of your seat from start to finish.”
    • “Very good and creepy atmosphere, good monster design and good enough story for a short game like this.”
    • “In general walking simulators can be quite fun, especially if the atmosphere, the VHS effect (that is quite popular these days), high quality assets and gameplay story compensate the simplicity of basically doing nothing.”
    • “My main issue was that the story and character decisions didn't always make much sense.”
    • “The plot lacks depth.”
    • “The story does seem a little nonsensical.”

  • graphics

    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    70% positive mentions, 10% neutral mentions, 20% negative mentions

    The graphics are generally praised for being good to amazing, with effective lighting and atmosphere enhancing the horror experience. While motion blur and controls received some criticism, the visual quality is consistently noted as a strong point.

    • “The graphics are amazing.”
    • “It's horror and it's short, the lighting was on point as well as the graphics in general.”
    • “Graphics are awesome, atmosphere and sound ambience is great.”
    • “Motion blur is terrible.”
    • “Basic graphic options.”

  • gameplay

    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    43% positive mentions, 14% neutral mentions, 43% negative mentions

    The gameplay is minimal and focuses primarily on exploration and atmosphere rather than engaging mechanics, resulting in a short experience lasting around 30 minutes. While the visuals and story offer some appeal, actual interactive gameplay is limited, making it more of a walking simulator with little challenge or depth.

    • “The game is short, only taking around half an hour to finish, and it's mostly focused on atmosphere and exploration rather than gameplay.”
    • “I couldn't say if the gameplay is great, since it's not a very long game, but I can say it's good.”
    • “In general walking simulators can be quite fun, especially if the atmosphere, the VHS effect (that is quite popular these days), high quality assets, and gameplay story compensate the simplicity of basically doing nothing.”
    • “There's no optimization, there's little to no actual gameplay; this really is a showcase of other people's Unreal assets.”
    • “The whole thing wraps up in 30 minutes max, and there’s not much in the way of actual gameplay.”
    • “The setting is generic, and the gameplay is walking around doing nothing.”

  • optimization

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    40% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 60% negative mentions

    The game currently suffers from poor optimization, resulting in low frame rates and underutilized hardware even on high-end systems. While performance issues and clunky controls are noted, the developer's responsiveness to feedback suggests potential improvements in future updates.

    • “It’s not a masterpiece by any means but I didn’t encounter any bugs or optimization issues.”
    • “Game looks promising but requires optimization; the game runs below 10fps on medium settings on RTX 3060 and Ryzen 9 5900HX, with GPU usage below 30% most of the time, indicating possibility of further optimization.”
    • “The controls are clunky and the optimization at the time I played it left a lot to be desired. That being said, the developer is very receptive to criticism and seems to genuinely want to make a game people like.”
    • “Game looks promising but requires optimization. The game runs below 10fps on medium settings on RTX 3060 and Ryzen 9 5900HX, with GPU usage below 30% most of the time, indicating room for further optimization.”
    • “Bad performance, barely sounds, feeling very generic.”

  • music

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

    Users feel that the game's atmosphere is good but the music is lacking, noting that the current royalty-free chase music during key moments feels out of place and diminishes the overall experience.

    • “The atmosphere is good but needs better music to bring it out more.”
    • “The monster only appears at the end and plays royalty-free chase music that does not fit the atmosphere.”
    • “-needed music”
    • “The monster only appears at the end, and plays royalty-free chase music that does not fit the atmosphere.”
    • “Needed music.”
    • “I muted the music.”
