    • “Fun game, had its moments of jumpscares with an interesting story and a nice twist at the end, enjoyed it.”

    The game generally offers solid performance and optimization, though the flashlight feature is notably unoptimized and causes frame drops; a raytracing toggle for the flashlight is recommended to improve stability.

    • “Good story, performance, level design.”
    • “My only other nitpick is that the flashlight is incredibly unoptimized, so I'd suggest adding a ray tracing toggle for it, because I imagine that's the main source of frame dropping.”
