atmosphere10 positive mentions

stability2 negative mentions

The game has a strong atmospheric and creepy sound design that effectively builds tension and mood.
It shows impressive effort and polish for a GameGuru engine title, with well-constructed outdoor and asylum environments.
The story and concept are intriguing, especially the geocaching-inspired premise, and the game offers a few genuinely scary and suspenseful moments without cheap jump scares.

The game suffers from extremely long and frequent loading times, often causing player frustration and crashes.
Gameplay is mostly a slow-paced walking simulator with little variety, frustrating enemy AI, and some poorly designed sections like tedious parkour and long, unengaging walking segments.
There are numerous bugs and stability issues, including crashes, green screen errors on load, lack of autosave, and occasional graphics glitches, diminishing overall playability.

atmosphere
18 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
56% positive mentions, 27% neutral mentions, 17% negative mentions
The game's atmosphere is widely praised for its perfect blend of sound, music, and ambient effects that create a spooky, immersive experience filled with tension and mystery. While some minor issues with note visibility slightly disrupt immersion, overall the atmosphere effectively builds suspense without relying on cheap scares. Many reviewers highlight the game's ability to evoke fear and a sense of isolation, making it a standout in the horror genre.
- “The atmosphere is perfect, the music, sound effects, and ambience were spot on.”
- “The 'tutorial-esque' area at the beginning was well done, and the atmosphere of being alone with nature, with only a primitive 'guide' of sorts to show you the way to safety was a great touch.”
- “Because it nails the perfect balance between a gloomy mystery and a dark horror atmosphere.”
- “Sometimes the notes just don't pop up, which kills the atmosphere and ruins the story.”
- “The first level was sort of a build-up in atmosphere, implying the pacing could be slow or uneven.”
- “While there is a creepy atmosphere, it may not have been consistently effective throughout the game.”
story
14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
43% positive mentions, 36% neutral mentions, 21% negative mentions
The game’s story shows promise and offers a spooky, atmospheric experience that engaged many players, though some found it lacking cohesion and polish, with occasional narrative holes and immersion-breaking elements. While the plot has potential and genuine intrigue, inconsistencies and subpar writing limit its overall impact.
- “This game is fantastic and is completely deserving of a better rating than "mixed" because it has a great story behind it with much atmosphere to it with no cheap jumpscares and for a first game, it is an absolute masterpiece to the horror game category.”
- “The story was good enough to make me truly want to know what happens next.”
- “Very good plot & setting.”
- “Admittedly some effort (not much) went into creating a backstory about how and why the gameguru stock assets were dragged and dropped onto the map, but make no mistake, this is just another lazy gameguru FPS construction kit asset flip... it has no value as real game for gamers.”
- “The plot and the way the story plays out don't feel cohesive or satisfying.”
- “At first I was sucked in with the grounding in reality, but when the guards and other pursuers entered the story it kind of broke the immersion with the introduction of a supernatural element.”
graphics
8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
38% positive mentions, 24% neutral mentions, 38% negative mentions
The graphics receive mixed reviews, with many users criticizing frequent bugs, poor performance, locked settings, and visual glitches that impair gameplay, resulting in generally unattractive visuals. However, some find the graphics acceptable for the low price, and a few even praise them as excellent. Overall, the graphics quality is inconsistent and often marred by technical issues.
- “Excellent graphics.”
- “Excellent graphics.”
- “Some people will like this game works fine good price of £1.50p graphics are ok so I will give it a thumbs up.”
- “It's very buggy - the loading screen is longer than a civilization game (and you hit the loading screen a lot, each time between levels), many of the graphical assets are disjointed (the rain in one scene falls behind the grass), if you alt-tab out of the loading screen it crashes the game and you have to verify files to fix it or it won't work again, I had to manually adjust a config file to get the game to work at all in the beginning - to name a few.”
- “On half the levels, the top part of my screen was covered with artifacts from the glitchy graphics, and that made it very hard to see at times.”
- “Ugly graphics, really bad performance, especially for this graphics.”
gameplay
6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
50% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 50% negative mentions
The gameplay offers a decent amount of suspense and exploration within a cleverly designed, sizable world, though it could benefit from more content. While it has some quirks and minor bugs, none are game-breaking, and features like the "ping" mechanic add to the experience. Overall, the gameplay is solid by the engine's standards but somewhat limited and modest in quality.
- “It has a lot of suspense to offer, the world is cleverly designed, it seems bigger than it is (and it is actually quite huge for its scope), it offers quite some gameplay (could be more, though) and a really solid stability.”
- “I enjoyed the 'ping' mechanic for getting closer to notes.”
- “- a few quirks and tiny bugs, but nothing gameplay breaking yet.”
- “No, "effort" does not mean a single afternoon's slapping-together of random assets, gameplay lasting barely five minutes, and a hastily cobbled-together store page on Steam.”
- “The graphics still err on the ugly side (hey, it is GameGuru); the writing is barely passable (I suspect we're still dealing with non-English speaking devs here); and the quality of the story and gameplay, while commendable by GameGuru standards, won't exactly be keeping the likes of Clive Barker or Red Barrels up at night.”
- “Asylums, crazed people with deranged motivations, and "take your eyes off them and they move!" mechanics...”
music
5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
60% positive mentions, 20% neutral mentions, 20% negative mentions
The music in the game is widely praised for enhancing the atmosphere, with users describing it as amazing, creepy, and perfectly complementing the sound effects and ambience to create an intense and immersive experience.
- “The outdoor environments the developer made in this game, especially at the end, and the music he made are nothing but amazing considering that he was working with the GameGuru engine.”
- “The atmosphere is perfect; the music, sound effects, and ambience were spot on.”
- “The music and sound effects really make the game more intense.”
- “The music is creepy.”
stability

The game suffers from frequent bugs and crashes, with excessively long loading screens and graphical inconsistencies. Players often experience crashes, especially when alt-tabbing during loading, requiring file verification or manual configuration to play. Overall, stability is poor, and saving frequently is highly recommended.
- “It's very buggy - the loading screen is longer than a Civilization game (and you hit the loading screen a lot, each time between levels). Many of the graphical assets are disjointed (the rain in one scene falls behind the grass). If you alt-tab out of the loading screen, it crashes the game and you have to verify files to fix it or it won't work again. I had to manually adjust a config file to get the game to work at all in the beginning - to name a few.”
- “Very buggy; it says 'save often' as the game will crash.”
