The atmosphere of the game is generally appreciated, but it lacks elements like ambient noise and unsettling movement that could enhance the sense of fear, making it less effective for those seeking a scary experience.
“I enjoyed what was there so far, though it's not scary if that's what you're looking for, as there's not much, if any, ambient noise to build atmosphere or create a sense of freaky movement.”
“The game lacks a compelling atmosphere; it feels empty and uninspired, making it hard to immerse myself in the experience.”
“Despite the potential for a rich environment, the atmosphere falls flat, leaving me feeling disconnected and uninterested.”
