  • Great atmosphere and tense build-up creating a blend of cozy and creepy vibes.
  • Well-crafted story and characters with engaging humor and memorable dialogue.
  • Effective jump scares that are not overdone, combined with smooth gameplay and exploration.
  • Sewer stealth section felt overly long, repetitive, and frustrating to some players.
  • Visuals and lighting in darker areas could be improved for better clarity and immersion.
  • Relatively short game length with some pacing issues, especially in the final sequences.

  • story

    63% positive mentions, 26% neutral mentions, 11% negative mentions

    The story is widely praised for its tense, gripping atmosphere and compelling, mysterious narrative that balances horror with humor and exploration. While some found certain elements cliché or frustrating, the overall storytelling and plot buildup effectively draw players in and leave them eager for a sequel. The game's blend of creepy vibes, well-executed scares, and engaging dialogue makes it a standout indie horror experience.

    • “The story was great, the atmosphere was tense and gripping from start to finish making you feel a sense of dread and that something was 'off'. I am really impressed with this game; I would 100% recommend this without hesitation. I really hope the dev can get the sequel out ASAP.”
    • “Got me super invested into the story of Jenny, the unsettling mystery, and longing for more, super interesting design style.”
    • “Amazing game, amazing story, amazing plot and buildup for horror!”
    • “The story here is a little cliche, but still engaging enough for me to keep playing.”
    • “A few things can be a bit out of place, like having the meta VHS tape on the table detailing the very story I was playing through, hence me not knowing I was already playing as Jenny or not, the helicopter dude obviously, and the awful decision making of Jenny for not having the sense that finding Jakob's body was enough of a reason to knock on Mary's door, and the slow exit from the sewer.”
    • “The game leaves off on a cliffhanger, but I am excited to see what comes next in the story.”

  • humor

    The humor in the game is well-balanced with its horror elements, featuring funny characters, witty dialogue, and amusing moments that complement the tense atmosphere. Players appreciate the mix of scares and laughs, including hilarious achievements and quirky interactions, which enhance the overall experience without undermining the suspense.

    • “The first half of the game was mostly navigation and jump scares with generous checkpoints; surprisingly, it had a nice mixture of hilarious achievements and very tense jump scares. I think the weird character interactions were handled perfectly.”
    • “Nice balance of tense jump scares and hilarious moments; the game will put you on the edge and make you laugh at the same time without losing the tension, so I think the vibes were great overall.”
    • “So well put together, great funny dialogue, and lots of scary moments!”

  • graphics

    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    43% positive mentions, 36% neutral mentions, 21% negative mentions

    The graphics are praised for their great aesthetics, retro-inspired art style, and ability to create an ominous, tense atmosphere that fits well with the horror theme. While some note sporadic quality in textures and lighting, the overall nostalgic and playful visual design is considered a strong point, though improvements in the trailer presentation and lighting effects could enhance the game's appeal.

    • “Great aesthetics and ominous atmosphere with tense build of story.”
    • “This was a great hidden gem of a horror game that is well designed and has very nice graphics.”
    • “The atmosphere is great, the old-school graphics give it a nice nostalgic feel, and it just works.”
    • “A perfect example of a fantastic horror game with a not so good looking trailer. I honestly would recommend making another one, remove whatever that gray filter is, use the in-game graphics, show that retro texture, and show those uncanny retro models. It will make a much better impression and hopefully will help people make that purchase.”
    • “I would say the visuals were a bit sporadic in quality. They could use a little work, specifically with the texture and light effects in the hallways and floors.”
    • “If possible, try to make the dark areas like a spectrum of darkness so you can kinda see the sides of the walls. Honestly, that aesthetic where the walls look like black holes never looks great, even for a horror game. It takes away more than it gives.”
