    The game's atmosphere is generally praised for its immersive suburban setting and the gradual buildup of tension through various spooky events. However, some players feel that the experience could be enhanced with more subtle scares and greater variety in atmospheric changes. Overall, while the atmosphere is effective, there are suggestions for improvement to make it even more engaging.

    • “A very simple atmospheric game where you drive around, and slowly things start to happen around you until you get murdered by a spooky thing.”
    • “I really liked the atmosphere it provided; the suburb really did feel like the one several of my friends lived in growing up or the ones I'd see in movies.”
    • “Drive through six different atmospheric experiences where an alien invasion, spider infestation, murderous mime, and other frightful events will happen.”
    • “However, I also think there are a few things that could be done to make the atmosphere and scares more effective!”

  • gameplay9 mentions

    The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with players noting issues such as wonky driving mechanics and a blurred rearview mirror that detracts from the experience. While some find it a quick and enjoyable way to pass the time, others criticize the lack of engaging mechanics and the need for significant improvements in driving controls. Overall, the game offers a unique feel but may not satisfy those seeking a polished gameplay experience.

    • “This is very different but in a good way. It kind of has a backroom feel to it.”
    • “It means the gameplay will have forcing events, forcing the driver's head to turn behind or to the sides, so you can see whatever is happening or about to happen.”
    • “Very nice, but while the most important gameplay schemes were maybe overlooked.”
    • “The driving mechanic and camera view were a bit wonky at times.”
    • “The car's rear mirror, which could have a major impact on the gameplay, is absolutely useless because it is blurred and does not reflect what's behind.”
    • “Apart from the horrendous driving mechanics and the fact that the car could honestly do with an overhaul, this game was worth the few quid that it cost.”
  • graphics3 mentions

    The graphics in the game are visually impressive, particularly in terms of foliage and atmospheric elements, but they suffer from performance issues, with players experiencing low frame rates even on high-end hardware. There is a call for more detailed attention to in-car graphics and dynamic events to enhance the overall experience.

    • “The graphics are impressive, especially the attention given to foliage and atmospheric elements that enhance the overall experience.”
    • “If the graphics could focus more on intricate details inside the car and create more fluid events, it would elevate the game to a whole new level.”
    • “I set the game to the highest graphics settings, the resolution to 4K... and got 29 FPS with my 4090 and hit 70°C.”
    • “Most of the graphics appear to only have been given attention to foliage and other things to set the atmosphere.”
    • “If one day graphics could give more attention to detail inside the car, speed more or less, and more fluidic events rather than forcing me to look at things, I'd say it could render in a very good horror game.”
