  • replayability
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game offers limited replayability, primarily revolving around experiencing the same jumpscares and atmosphere, which some players feel may not justify the price for just thirty minutes of gameplay. However, many still find it a fun experience worth trying, especially during a sale.

    • “If you don't think thirty minutes with the only bit of replay value being experiencing the same jumpscares and overall creepy feeling is worth five dollars, then wait for a sale, but don't refuse to buy it at all, because it definitely was a fun experience.”
  • emotional
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players report that the emotional impact of the game is heightened by the protagonist's terrified, irregular breathing, which adds to the overall tension and difficulty in coping with the unfolding events. This auditory element significantly enhances the immersive experience, evoking strong feelings of fear and anxiety.

    • “It's worth noting that all the while this is going on, the player character is making a sort of terrified, irregular breathing sound. This in itself is difficult to cope with emotionally.”
