The game's atmosphere is described as both unsettling and immersive, effectively creating a sense of dread with its realistic and dark elements. Players appreciate the balance between comfort and fear, particularly noting how the unique style of Japanese, Korean, and Chinese horror enhances the overall experience, leaving them on edge and deeply affected by the game's anomalies.
“Very good game with a lot of scary anomalies and an unsettling realistic atmosphere.”
“Love the game, the atmosphere is so comforting.”
“Being totally honest, Japanese/Korean/Chinese horror games simply scare me; something about the style gets under my skin. For a while, the anomalies are annoying, but throughout, there's this dark atmosphere that had me on edge, so when the first creepy anomaly appeared, I was shell shocked.”
