  • story
    48 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it intriguing and well-conceived, while others criticize it for being fragmented, overly brief, or poorly integrated into gameplay. Many reviewers express frustration with the reliance on lengthy audio narratives that disrupt immersion, suggesting that a more interactive storytelling approach would enhance the experience. Overall, while the concept of the story is appreciated, its execution leaves much to be desired, leading to a lack of engagement and a feeling that the game fails to fully realize its potential.

    • “The story is interesting, the acting is good, the way the ghosts interact with your smartphone is clever.”
    • “It's a fantastic game, scary, tense, with an incredible storyline and voice actors.”
    • “It immerses you completely with great storytelling and a terrifying atmosphere.”
    • “But there is no plot, no introduction to the story or anything.”
    • “The game itself is too short, the story is too fragmented and honestly it just feels like something is missing - after playing the game for a while it just isn't any form of scary that it's trying to be.”
    • “Oh and I didn't even get to the worst part, you have to click on these hanging portraits of each character which plays an audio file of their entire life story.. literally there are some that are half an hour.”
  • atmosphere
    29 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere of the game receives mixed reviews, with some players praising its immersive and creepy qualities, enhanced by strong storytelling and design, while others criticize it for being slow, boring, or undermined by poor voice acting and lack of interaction. Overall, many agree that the game successfully creates a haunting environment, though its effectiveness can diminish over time due to gameplay pacing and technical issues.

    • “The atmosphere can be considered a success.”
    • “It immerses you completely with great storytelling and a terrifying atmosphere.”
    • “Awesome indie horror title with great atmosphere.”
    • “The atmosphere is decent but the game is simply just too slow and boring - it's just another mediocre horror game.”
    • “Hilariously awful voice acting ruins any atmosphere.”
    • “No environment interaction, no clear direction, no atmosphere.”
  • gameplay
    29 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay has been widely criticized for its clunky mechanics, lack of inventory management, and poor level design, leading to a frustrating experience for many players. While the game attempts to create tension through audio cues and a creepy atmosphere, these elements often feel disconnected from the gameplay itself. Overall, the execution of the core concept is seen as lacking, with many reviewers noting that the gameplay fails to engage or provide meaningful interaction.

    • “While obviously trying to capitalize on the success of Slenderman, the setting's creepy and the core gameplay idea - bring these lost orphans their most treasured item while dodging a noisy monster - isn't bad.”
    • “The game has nice graphics for an indie game, the mechanics work well and the triggers on all the orphans are just fantastic; you can sit there for hours just listening to the stories, which each have a compressed version and a full version.”
    • “The flashlight mechanic is obvious, but the use of the screen is a very nice idea that can really enhance the genre.”
    • “But the actual gameplay feels really clunky.”
    • “The problem is that there is no mechanic to store the clues you get (a journal), no inventory to place the different items in (there are twelve children/stories/items and once you pick up a new one, you drop the one you're holding in the spot), no map or other mechanic to help you orientate in the maze with almost identical rooms which the orphanage turns out to be.”
    • “The gameplay is very boring and slow-paced, amplified by a small-ish map and lack of substantial things to do.”
  • graphics
    23 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game have received mixed to negative feedback, with many users describing them as outdated, bland, and lacking in detail, reminiscent of games from a decade ago. While some appreciate the optimization and atmospheric touches, overall impressions highlight issues such as poor resolution, unremarkable textures, and technical glitches that detract from the experience. Despite a few positive notes on the graphics' potential, they ultimately fail to elevate the game, leaving players disappointed.

    • “Firstly, I'd like to thank the development team for actually doing a great job on the graphics, even with the fact it's not very resource-intensive on your system.”
    • “The graphics are pretty sharp and the atmosphere is nice and lonely... until the ghost messages start up.”
    • “The game has nice graphics for an indie game; the mechanics work well and the triggers on all the orphans are just fantastic. You can sit there for hours just listening to the stories, which each have a compressed version and a full version.”
    • “I tried playing this 7-year-old game on a 2019 gaming PC on the highest graphics settings, but the loading took ridiculously long.”
    • “When I restarted the game on the 'fastest' setting, it did load much faster, but the graphics were so outdated I felt like playing a game from 2003 rather than 2013.”
    • “The graphics are mediocre, very bland and not sharp or high resolution textures.”
  • grinding
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The grinding aspect of the game is widely criticized for being tedious and aggravating, with players describing it as a repetitive experience akin to a "door-opening simulator." Many reviews highlight the frustration of backtracking and the lack of inventory management, which contributes to the overall feeling of monotony. While some may find enjoyment in the slower pace, the majority agree that the grinding elements detract significantly from the overall experience.

    • “Instead we're given a very tedious and aggravating experience of what can only be described as hide and seek.”
    • “Tedious door-opening simulator.”
    • “If you could carry more than one thing it would be okay, but padding out the game by making the player go back and forth so much is really tedious.”

    The game exhibits stability issues, including brief freezes during video loading before jump-scares and various rendering glitches, particularly at higher resolutions. Overall, players report it as somewhat buggy, impacting the overall experience.

    • “The game always freezes for a second while it loads the video before a jump scare, just to make sure you don't get spooked.”
    • “That being said, there are a lot of glitches with the rendering when I played this game at 1900x1200 full screen on my i7 3930k, 8GB DDR3, GTX 750ti 2GB system.”
    • “Cons: a little bit buggy.”
  • optimization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's graphics are well-optimized, but overall performance is lacking, particularly on lower-tier machines, and some models and textures appear poor even at the highest settings. Additionally, the absence of a settings screen limits customization options for optimization.

    • “I appreciate how the game runs smoothly on various hardware configurations, showcasing excellent optimization.”
    • “The optimization of the game allows for seamless gameplay, even on lower-end systems.”
