  • The game is a lot of fun when played with friends, providing a unique and exciting multiplayer horror experience.
  • It has great potential with a solid concept, and many players enjoy the thrill of being chased by the entity.
  • For its low price, the game offers a good amount of entertainment, especially if you have a group to play with.
  • The game suffers from balancing issues, as the entity is often too powerful compared to the survivors, making it difficult for them to win.
  • There is a lack of content and features, such as a single-player mode or AI opponents, which limits gameplay options.
  • The player base is very small, making it hard to find matches, and many players feel the game has been abandoned by the developers.
  • gameplay
    13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Gameplay is characterized by its simplistic mechanics and engaging atmosphere, though players express frustration with certain elements, such as the lack of bot options and balance issues, particularly for the last survivor. While the game offers fun and potential, it requires clearer explanations of mechanics and adjustments to enhance the experience, especially in 1v1 scenarios. Overall, it is seen as a solid purchase for short play sessions, with hopes for future updates to expand gameplay options and improve balance.

    • “Mechanics are simple and fun.”
    • “Simple mechanics and a great atmosphere with a tight gameplay cycle.”
    • “Often updated with cool new mechanics.”
    • “It's really not fun; there is no proper explanation on certain mechanics, and worst of all, there is no option to play against the entity (as a bot); it has to be versus one of the friends you play with.”
    • “The survivor gameplay is a bit rough and devolves into constant 360-degree scanning for the entity and the remaining totems.”
    • “1v1, while fun, leaves the want for more players, whether that be 1 entity vs up to 4 humans, or maybe more entities, depending on how the gameplay would feel with more.”
  • humor
    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is a standout feature, often overshadowing its horror elements, as players find themselves laughing uncontrollably during gameplay. Many reviews highlight the comedic interactions among friends, with moments of unexpected scares leading to hilarious reactions, making the experience both spooky and entertaining. Overall, the game's blend of humor and horror creates a unique and enjoyable atmosphere, though some technical issues with voice sensitivity have been noted.

    • “Although it is designed as a horror game, the friends I typically play this game with make it exceedingly hilarious.”
    • “No horror game should be this funny.”
    • “Being the entity is like riding a bike for the first time, but the more you play, the more hilarious it becomes.”
  • graphics
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are generally considered decent, with some players noting that it runs well on mid-range hardware like the RTX 3060, though it can push the GPU to its limits. While the visuals are not bad, they are often compared to other low-quality horror games, leading to a desire for a more modern and unique aesthetic. Overall, the graphics contribute positively to the game's atmosphere, but there is room for improvement.

    • “The aspect of the game is good, the goal is easy, the graphics are good.”
    • “The game itself is really good, with decent graphics and the uneasiness of a mannequin chasing you around a small town.”
    • “The graphics are not bad per se, but they blend in with other horror games. It would be great if the game got a new coat of paint to look more modern and have a more unique look.”
    • “It was alright when I knew it didn't munch on my graphics card. I have a 3060, and it was at 100% usage on medium graphics.”
  • optimization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization has been widely criticized, with users reporting it runs poorly, likening its performance to that of a crypto miner. Despite being able to handle other AAA titles at high settings, players find this game to be exceptionally unoptimized, leading to excessive noise and resource consumption.

    • “Either a crypto miner or incredibly unoptimized.”
    • “That being said, the optimization is atrocious.”
    • “I would recommend the game for everything at the moment besides optimization, because I can run triple-A titles at fairly high settings and it doesn't sound like a small engine revving up like this game does.”
  • replayability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find that using all mannequins enhances the game's replayability, making it more enjoyable and engaging, especially when experimenting with different strategies like avoiding invisibility.

    • “My friend and I played using all the mannequins, and not being invisible made the game much more playable and enjoyable.”
    • “The variety of choices and strategies keeps me coming back for more; every playthrough feels fresh and exciting.”
    • “With multiple endings and different character paths, I find myself replaying the game to explore every possibility.”
  • stability
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is criticized for being buggy and laggy, detracting from the overall enjoyment. However, some users feel that the low price of $3 makes the experience somewhat justifiable despite these issues.

    • “Buggy, laggy, and genuinely not fun.”
    • “For $3, it's worth the kind of buggy experience.”
  • atmosphere
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere of the game is highly praised, with users appreciating its engaging concept and immersive environment. The combination of simple mechanics and a well-crafted atmosphere contributes to a satisfying gameplay experience.

    • “I enjoy games like this, so the concept and atmosphere are already a win for me.”
    • “Simple mechanics and a great atmosphere with a tight gameplay cycle.”
  • monetization
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization of the game is considered reasonable, with a low price point that encourages players to support the dedicated developer despite the current lack of content and modern graphics. While some may perceive it as a cash grab typical of the indie horror genre, the game's potential and the developer's commitment to improvement suggest it may be worth investing in for those willing to wait for future updates.

    • “Ultimately it's a good game with a good idea, but it is lacking in content and is easy to mistake as just another indie horror cash grab. Personally, I say if you are willing to put up with the game right now to support the developer, then do that. The game is already cheap, but if you want to wait for it to be more developed, then give it a little time for it to be a more complete game.”
    • “On top of all that, there's the graphics. They're not bad per se, but they blend in with all the other cash grab horror games, making it easy to mistake this game for one. I know the developer personally, and he is extremely dedicated to this game and adding new content to it. It would be great if the game got a new coat of paint, updated the graphics to look more modern, and had a more unique look; however, I understand that's no easy task.”
