story17 positive mentions
  • The game offers a creepy and engaging atmosphere with a solid psychological horror vibe, complemented by good sound design and music.
  • Story and lore are compelling and intriguing, keeping players invested throughout the approximately 4-6 hours of gameplay.
  • Puzzles are generally straightforward and well-integrated, and the game runs smoothly even on multiple system setups.
  • Gameplay is primarily a walking simulator with limited action, minimal enemy encounters, and only a few chase sequences and a single boss fight which lacks depth.
  • Some puzzles, particularly the final one, can be frustrating or poorly designed, and the story sometimes feels ambiguous or incomplete, leaving players confused.
  • The horror elements, including jump scares, are not strong or consistent enough for veterans, and some find the pacing slow or the gameplay repetitive and lacking variation.

  • story

    32 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    53% positive mentions, 38% neutral mentions, 9% negative mentions

    The story is generally engaging, atmospheric, and features intriguing twists that keep players invested, though some find it ambiguous or confusing without careful attention to collectibles. While praised for its compelling horror elements and connections to the source film, a few users noted weak character development and occasional narrative gaps. Overall, it offers a memorable experience, especially for those who appreciate deeper lore alongside scares.

    • “Phenomenal story that steps into heavy yet compelling territory.”
    • “I really love the way the story develops; there are a few minor annoyances but besides that it's an amazingly written story that really has you scratching your head all the way to the end.”
    • “I found the story engaging and there's a few twists and turns that make the player doubt the protagonist's state of mind.”
    • “I don't mind walking sims, it's actually one of my favourite genres, but the lackluster scares, not much of a story, uninspired characters, and very little to do or explore really disappointed me.”
    • “Ass story and character building, does not feel any emotions towards anyone.”
    • “Story wise this game has a lot of holes to fill, like who is this kid, who is this person that hanged on the tree.”

  • atmosphere

    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    55% positive mentions, 45% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The atmosphere across these reviews is consistently praised for its eerie, gloomy, and immersive qualities, often enhanced by a fitting soundtrack and well-presented environments. While some note a lack of intense scares or varied gameplay, the overall sense of tension and dread remains strong, contributing significantly to the game's appeal.

    • “Another great title from Softstar - while the gameplay is more streamlined compared to Bridge Curse 2, the tension, atmosphere, and overall constant sense of impending dread shoot through the roof.”
    • “The eerie atmosphere creates a sense of dread that lingers throughout the game.”
    • “The environment is also nicely presented and the bleak village is eerie, which lends to a very gloomy atmosphere.”

  • graphics

    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    80% positive mentions, 20% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The graphics are generally praised for being impressive, especially considering the game's indie status, with smooth performance at high frame rates and resolution. Visuals and animations, particularly character models and scares, are noted as standout features, contributing positively to the overall experience. However, some mention limited graphics options.

    • “The graphics and animation are great, especially some of the model's faces.”
    • “I was locked to 240fps most of the time with max graphics at 1440p.”
    • “Great graphics in Unreal Engine 4.27.2.”

  • gameplay

    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    57% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 43% negative mentions

    The gameplay is generally straightforward and typical of first-person horror games, featuring light stealth, a few chases, and basic puzzles, though some find it lacking in action and excitement. While it may feel unremarkable or dull to some, the streamlined gameplay supports an engaging story and atmospheric tension. Overall, gameplay is accessible and functional but not particularly innovative or thrilling.

    • “Another great title from Softstar - while the gameplay is more streamlined compared to Bridge Curse 2, the tension, atmosphere, and overall constant sense of impending dread shoot through the roof.”
    • “The story is so good, even the backstory about all NPCs. The gameplay is not so hard, so I can enjoy while I read the backstory.”
    • “Fun little game, the gameplay is nothing crazy but I enjoyed the story and characters.”
    • “Gameplay is basically re/sh, but hardly any action, just some stealth (yuk, at least, you can just run through these parts), a couple of chases, and a single boss fight which feels a bit off without a dodge button.”
    • “The gameplay is nothing special, just your typical first-person horror game with some alright puzzles.”
    • “Lackluster jumpscares, and boring gameplay.”

  • music

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    75% positive mentions, 25% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The music and sound design are praised for creating a great atmosphere, with an eerie and fitting soundtrack that enhances the game's horror theme, though the overall scare factor is moderate.

    • “The sound design and music were also great.”
    • “Great atmosphere and soundtrack similar to the movie.”
    • “The ambience and music of the game were eerie and added to the horror aspect of the game.”

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    67% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 33% negative mentions

    The game is well-optimized, running smoothly without stuttering on high-end hardware, though graphics settings are somewhat limited.

    • “It looked awesome and was really optimized well.”
