“Gameplay is repetitive, some of the worst 'combat' I've ever played.”
“What really killed the game for me, though, were the fight mechanics.”

The game's atmosphere is widely praised for its dream-like quality, enhanced by dense fog and chilling textures, creating a unique and immersive experience. While some players found the horror elements lacking, many appreciated the developers' focus on storytelling through visuals rather than dialogue, resulting in a bizarre yet captivating ambiance. Overall, the atmosphere is considered a standout feature, compensating for other gameplay shortcomings.
“An excellent first-person horror game, a very diverse atmosphere, good mechanics; developers, keep doing it in the same spirit!”
“This game really managed to build an atmosphere and I can appreciate the English language conversion :) worth a play!”
“Horror is extremely lacking, somewhat succeeds with building an eerie atmosphere but does nothing with it.”
“There is a sequel to this game called 'Last Village' which vastly corrects this, but still lacks the lore needed due to the developer's continued commitment to telling a story with pictures and atmosphere more than words.”
“Covering the surrounding landscape in a dense fog that leaves only the top floors visible is a nice touch that I really liked because it gives the whole experience this dream-like atmosphere.”
