    28 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    36% positive mentions, 53% neutral mentions, 11% negative mentions

    The game's story received mixed reviews, with some players appreciating its emotional depth and unexpected twists, while others found it confusing and poorly executed, often hindered by AI-generated voice acting. Many noted that the narrative relied heavily on written notes for background information, which detracted from the overall experience. Despite its potential, the story's engagement was often lost, suggesting a need for more cohesive storytelling and better voice work in future iterations.

    • “It had a good story to follow throughout the game and the ending I didn't see coming.”
    • “The story was fantastic!”
    • “The gloomy atmosphere, mysterious plot, and tense moments are all there.”
    • “Story is confusing and doesn’t come together.”
    • “You can see later in the game that there is a real attempt at creating a story; however, the engagement with the story is lost quickly as you hear the AI voicing.”
    • “Lastly, a bulk of the story's background info was in the form of written notes left around the house.”

  • graphics

    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    33% positive mentions, 34% neutral mentions, 33% negative mentions

    The graphics are generally praised for their quality and immersive atmosphere, contributing to the game's creepy tone and engaging storytelling. However, there are significant optimization issues, particularly with inconsistent texture quality between outdoor and indoor environments, leading to muddy visuals on higher settings. Some users also noted that certain objects, like keys, suffer from poor visibility due to low-quality graphics, suggesting a need for better optimization and interaction design.

    • “I really liked the graphics, the creepy tone, and the storytelling, which kept me interested until the end.”
    • “Amazing fun gameplay, incredible graphics, interesting story, and a really cool haunting experience.”
    • “The visuals looked great except for the very beginning in the woods.”
    • “Optimization is also inconsistent: the outdoor area runs smoothly on high settings, but once inside, textures become muddy and low-res unless you dial down to medium or low settings, which weirdly fixes the visuals.”
    • “It’s not well optimized; graphics maxed are clunky.”
    • “The key in the kitchen is a great example; it’s in there but it’s a flat, almost 2D plane graphic that’s so hard to see and miss in its location. After 30 minutes, I hit the Steam community and found a topic on exactly that item.”

    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    38% positive mentions, 24% neutral mentions, 38% negative mentions

    The game's atmosphere is generally praised for its eerie and oppressive qualities, effectively creating tension and delivering goosebumps through sound design and visual elements.

Overall, the atmosphere is described as both gorgeous and scary, successfully engaging players despite some flaws.

    • “The gloomy atmosphere, mysterious plot, and tense moments are all there.”
    • “The eerie atmosphere of the game and the jumpscares got me real good.”
    • “The atmosphere is gorgeous, scary, and interesting; it hasn't gone through to the end yet, but it's already stuck.”

    • “The atmosphere is oppressive, the sound is a bomb; I really shuddered a couple of times.”
    • “Atmosphere-wise?”

    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    43% positive mentions, 14% neutral mentions, 43% negative mentions

    • “A few unnecessary gameplay aspects; every single drawer and cupboard was interactive.”

  • optimization

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    33% positive mentions, 34% neutral mentions, 33% negative mentions

    The game's optimization is inconsistent, with smooth performance in outdoor areas on high settings, but poor texture quality indoors unless settings are lowered.

    • “Performance is fine now that the patch has dropped.”
    • “It’s not well optimized; graphics maxed are clunky.”
    • “Optimization is also inconsistent: the outdoor area runs smoothly on high settings, but once inside, textures become muddy and low-res unless you dial down to medium or low settings, which weirdly fixes the visuals.”
    • “Not optimized the greatest.”

  • stability

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    Overall, players report that while the game is enjoyable, it suffers from stability issues, including frequent glitches and camera problems that may require restarting the game multiple times.

    • “This was a great game, although we had to restart the game 2-3 times to get past glitches.”
    • “I think I ran into a few glitches with some sequences where I was supposed to be visually locked onto something, but the camera had been pushed to look somewhere else.”
    • “You will experience a few graphical glitches here and there.”
