  • Unique and engaging cooperative horror experience with strong atmosphere and humor.
  • Fun and tense gameplay loop that encourages teamwork and strategic play, especially enjoyable with friends.
  • Good art direction, sound design, and thematic consistency that create a scary yet amusing medieval fantasy vibe.
  • The game is repetitive with limited content variety and lacks long-term replayability.
  • Balance and difficulty can be inconsistent, often feeling too easy or brutally punishing, especially for small groups or solo players.
  • Technical issues such as bugs, unreliable save system, VOIP problems, and occasional performance hiccups detract from the experience.

  • gameplay

    35 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    14% positive mentions, 72% neutral mentions, 14% negative mentions

    The gameplay offers a tense and suspenseful experience with a satisfying core loop, combining survival and task-driven mechanics, especially enjoyable in co-op mode. However, it can become repetitive and frustrating due to limited enemy variety, an overbearing constant pursuit mechanic, and some clunky systems like inventory and enemy behavior clarity. While the ambience and map design receive strong praise, many feel the gameplay needs more variety, improved mechanics, and better pacing to maintain long-term engagement.

    • “You can learn how to fight and deal with every enemy and their mechanics, which makes almost all of them trivial 1v1, but it was a risky and scary venture and you can still get overrun if you're careless.”
    • “The gameplay loop is built around completing assigned objectives during each night cycle. The limited visibility reinforces the danger of exploration while keeping the gameplay readable.”
    • “The moment-to-moment gameplay is fun enough that you’ll keep queuing up 'one more run' without forcing it, providing a satisfying core loop.”
    • “The aesthetic and map design is fantastic but the gameplay unfortunately just kinda sucks, even by the standards of the horror roguelike friendslop genre.”
    • “Story is almost engaging to push through to figure out what happened but by this point, you just search the internet and get rid of the game because having 12+ creatures coming after you in a constant pursuit style is a lazy garbage game mechanic.”
    • “But it's simply not fun when the gameplay now is hide in a house, wait 2 - 3 minutes, go to the next house, wait 2 - 3 minutes (no clue how you do quests outside of village tbh, not that i tried) rinse and repeat.”

  • story

    34 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    21% positive mentions, 70% neutral mentions, 9% negative mentions

    The story in the game is minimal, relying mostly on environmental storytelling and notes rather than a structured narrative, which leaves many players wanting more lore and deeper plot development. Quests are repetitive and simple, focused on fetch and survival tasks that provide some challenge but lack complexity or meaningful progression. While the atmosphere and horror elements are appreciated, the overall story experience feels underdeveloped and could benefit from richer lore, varied quest structures, and more engaging enemy dynamics.

    • “Fun so far, would love to see some lore updates or a story mode that explains what happened to the world that spawns such creatures.”
    • “It's a round-based quest game where you go out at night to do the king's bidding to regain your honor. You gain honor each night when you complete a quest and can use that to purchase health items and weapons from the merchant during the day, which aid you in your journey in the dark.”
    • “The quests you get in the game are very engaging and, even if simple, you still face the challenge of staying alive while doing them.”
    • “At first I assumed the game had a story to follow and play through, but it sadly does not (besides notes and environmental storytelling).”
    • “You do a handful of different fetch quests in a world that's pretty atmospheric but overall is filled with nothing.”
    • “The atmosphere of the game is something that can be built upon, but that's about it; after an hour the quests will repeat themselves, you will have seen every mob and every point of interest.”

  • atmosphere

    24 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    71% positive mentions, 16% neutral mentions, 13% negative mentions

    The game is widely praised for its strong, immersive atmosphere that blends horror, dark fantasy, and humor with effective ambient sounds and unique visuals, including intentionally low-fi graphics. Players find the exploration and tense moments compelling, creating a memorable and haunting experience, though some note limited content and repetitive quests. Overall, the atmosphere is considered a standout aspect that enhances both solo and social gameplay.

    • “Atmosphere is fantastic, exploration is wonderful, time spent exploring without enemy chases was immersive and left me wanting to explore more.”
    • “The graphics are the best kind of goofy, the villager names are hilarious, the enemies are really scary and well-done, and the entire atmosphere of the game is just amazing.”
    • “Its a unique, haunting, atmospheric game to me and frankly, I'd love to see much more of it in the future (content, player mods, etc). I hope this game gets all the recognition it deserves and explodes.”
    • “The atmosphere of the game is something that can be built upon, but that's about it. After an hour, the quests will repeat themselves, you will have seen every mob and every point of interest.”
    • “While it may not have the depth or variety to sustain long-term play for everyone, its atmosphere, premise, and social dynamics make it memorable.”
    • “Very tense atmosphere with limited visibility makes you feel helpless.”

    • “This game gets everything right - atmosphere, humor, and horror are perfectly balanced.”

  • graphics

    15 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    47% positive mentions, 33% neutral mentions, 20% negative mentions

    The graphics receive praise for their unique, stylized, and atmospheric art style, often described as retro, PS1-inspired, and fitting the dark fantasy horror theme. While some note the intentionally low-fidelity visuals as enhancing the mood, others highlight the well-designed environments and creepy, engaging aesthetic. Overall, the graphics are considered a strong, distinctive element that effectively supports the game's ominous and immersive atmosphere.

    • “The graphics are the best kind of goofy, the villager names are hilarious, the enemies are really scary and well-done, and the entire atmosphere of the game is just amazing.”
    • “Visually, the game uses a stylized medieval aesthetic that supports its tone without overcomplicating the presentation.”
    • “The environments are gorgeous and it encapsulates that dark fantasy aesthetic that's so popular in recent years.”
    • “The graphics are bad, the controls are bad, the gameplay loop is bad.”

  • replayability

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    50% positive mentions, 33% neutral mentions, 17% negative mentions

    The game offers strong replayability, especially as a tense and addictive co-op experience with random missions that keep gameplay fresh. While some feel it currently falls short in this area, many praise its ambiance and fun factor with friends, enhancing its replay value.

    • “Very buggy all around, with glaring network issues.”
    • “This game is really fun with friends but each time we both die the game freezes though I can still hear the monsters.”

  • optimization

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

    The game offers an immersive experience with generally good performance, but optimization issues cause occasional jankiness. While enjoyable and worth trying on sale, improvements in optimization and content variety are needed for the full price.

    • “Immersive, good performance, nice map, cool enemies, and an actual scary game to play with your homies.”
    • “Worth trying on sale — fun core loop, but I’d want more variety and better optimization before paying full price.”
