story6 positive mentions
gameplay3 negative mentions
  • Strong, immersive atmosphere that effectively turns an ordinary office setting into a creepy, unsettling environment.
  • Well-timed and tasteful jump scares that contribute to a genuinely scary experience without relying on overused clichés.
  • Engaging mystery and multiple endings that encourage replayability and careful exploration.
  • Short runtime may disappoint players seeking a longer, more content-rich horror experience.
  • Puzzle difficulty and some obscure requirements for achieving certain endings can be frustrating and may require external help.
  • Repetitive elements and similarities to previous games by the developer may reduce the impact for returning players familiar with their work.

  • story

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

    The story is atmospheric and investigative, focusing on exploration and puzzle-solving rather than combat, with an intriguing mystery surrounding the death of Joseph Anadam. While some find the plot somewhat predictable or recycled, the narrative offers multiple endings and enough mystery to engage players. Overall, it delivers a captivating and well-integrated story that complements the game's spooky and immersive atmosphere.

    • “The best moments are those where environmental exploration, puzzle solving, and storytelling overlap, as discovering a clue can simultaneously move the player closer to solving both a mechanical problem and the mystery surrounding Joseph.”
    • “Each outcome provides additional information about the overall story, so seeing only one conclusion does not necessarily reveal everything surrounding the mystery.”
    • “The game is chilling and spooky, has a well-integrated story, and is a comfortable length.”
    • “The plot is obvious from like 20 seconds in, recycled from The Girl with the Cloth Face basically.”
    • “At the very start, I've suspected the main premise of the story.”
    • “He even re-used the 'you messed up so now are stuck in an endless loop unless you repent' storyline he's used in other games of his.”

  • atmosphere

    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    43% positive mentions, 57% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The game excels in creating a tense, unsettling atmosphere through effective use of timing, sound design, and immersive environments rather than relying heavily on combat or constant scares. Its compact length and setting in an empty office amplify isolation and suspense, making the horror feel more psychological and engaging. Overall, the atmosphere is praised as spooky, well-crafted, and a key strength that enhances the storytelling and exploration experience.

    • “This approach allows the atmosphere to carry much of the horror instead of depending exclusively on enemies or constant jumpscares.”
    • “Being alone in a workplace after normal hours already creates a slightly unnatural atmosphere, and the supernatural elements amplify that isolation.”
    • “I've played almost every game by Stan, and each one has consistently creeped me out with its setup, sound design, and atmosphere.”

  • gameplay

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    20% positive mentions, 20% neutral mentions, 60% negative mentions

    The gameplay focuses on first-person exploration and environmental puzzle solving, with its best moments occurring when exploration, puzzles, and storytelling intersect. Its small scale and walking-simulator style result in limited environmental variety and mechanical complexity, which may feel too passive for players seeking more extensive gameplay systems. Overall, it offers a concise, atmospheric experience suitable for a brief, intriguing adventure.

    • “The best moments are those where environmental exploration, puzzle solving, and storytelling overlap, since discovering a clue can simultaneously move the player closer to solving both a mechanical problem and the mystery surrounding Joseph.”
    • “Its intentionally small scale restricts environmental variety and mechanical complexity, while its walking-simulator foundations may feel too passive for players who prefer extensive gameplay systems.”
    • “It may be too brief and mechanically restrained for those wanting a major horror campaign, but as a compact evening experience, it delivers an intriguing combination of workplace isolation and supernatural investigation.”
    • “Gameplay primarily revolves around first-person exploration and environmental puzzle solving.”

  • graphics

    The game is fairly well optimized, providing smooth performance despite not being a visual masterpiece. While built in Unity with standard assets, it runs efficiently without major issues, enhancing the overall experience.

    • “Long story short — the game is actually fun, managed to scare me a few times (which is rare), and is fairly well optimized (though don’t expect a visual masterpiece — we're talking about a Unity game).”

  • replayability

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The game's replayability is mainly driven by its three distinct endings, encouraging players to revisit and explore different outcomes.
