  • graphics9 mentions

    The graphics of the game have received praise for their impressive quality, even on lower-end systems, with clean visuals and a nostalgic VHS aesthetic that enhances the horror atmosphere. While some players experienced bugs affecting the visual experience, the overall design contributes significantly to the game's charm and immersive gameplay. However, there are calls for more diverse graphic options to cater to different player preferences.

    • “First of all, I'm surprised that I can even run this game on a potato, and second, the graphics look absolutely amazing. The game is extremely short and straight to the point. At first, I thought this was just another FNAF clone, but I'm extremely impressed with what this game is. I highly recommend giving this underrated gem a try; it's a shame it doesn't get enough attention.”
    • “The visuals are very clean, and the addition of time-appropriate assets adds a very nice touch to the atmosphere of the game.”
    • “The old VHS graphics and the ambience make the game 10x creepier, and it has a mechanic that I have never seen before.”
    • “The old VHS graphics and the ambience make the game 10x more creepy, and it has a mechanic that I never saw before.”
    • “In the game for a long time, I did not understand what was wrong with the graphics (everything was green), but as it turned out, this is a bug that can be fixed in the settings by removing the screen effects function. After that, the normal game plot began. I wouldn't say that it's wow, but still, it is a plus. The items that need to be collected are confusing; I didn't pay attention to whether they were random or not, but having to look for them in empty rooms where they may suddenly appear makes the gameplay more difficult.”
    • “I wouldn't complain if the game had more diverse graphic options or a separate ini file to edit (I suppose it's UE4).”

    • “The atmosphere and monitor/VHS simulation is well done.”
    • “Impeccable atmosphere, incredibly disorienting, and the maid is both terrifying and... rather attractive under the right light.”
