    • “Music at the catwalk is the highlight of the level; we need it released!”

    60% positive mentions, 40% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The graphics have significantly improved over the series, evolving into semi-realistic visuals that enhance the game's atmosphere.

Overall, the production quality is noted to be much better compared to earlier solo-made titles, contributing to a more immersive experience.

    • “It's clear that production and graphics quality has majorly improved since the first 5 games (which were solo-made), so the Notovia team has really done a lot of good work.”
    • “Graphics have improved slightly yet again, continuing the trend of being semi-realistic while staying within what players would expect out of a game such as this one.”
    • “The visuals are insane; the jumpscares really make you jump in fear, the anomalies are super creepy, and the fact that certain intruders can just jump at your screen still makes me double guess whether or not I should look at my screen when reporting one.”

  • replayability

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
