“Gameplay-wise, it's a lot of fun.”
“The graphics are appealing, the gameplay is fluid, and we didn't find any bugs during our playthrough that took away the fun.”
“It is played through quickly, so it lacks a lot of content and variety like other maps, but the mechanics with sneaking around and the design of the enemies is a breath of fresh air that I like very much compared to other horror co-op games.”
“This game is so bad on every single level. The gameplay is repetitive, the items are poorly designed, and the monster AI is absolutely terrible. I wanted to be spooked, but I wasn't. It's more annoying than fun, and for God's sake, don't sell this if you're going to make such a poor game. At least make it free or don't make games at all. I played it for less than an hour, and it was the worst time of my day. I regret the day I played this.”
“The progression mechanics are problematic and frustrating.”
“The mechanics after destroying a totem are confusing and detract from the overall experience.”
