  • Fun little game with decent scares and a unique touch of Mexican slang.
  • Quick gameplay experience that delivers on jump scares and is enjoyable for a free horror sim.
  • Cute and entertaining for short play sessions, making it a good option for fans of convenience store horror games.
  • The game feels uninspired with a lack of story and obvious twists, leading to an underwhelming experience.
  • Gameplay mechanics are clunky and interactions are not smooth, detracting from overall immersion.
  • Short length and repetitive ideas make it feel like a half-baked experience, not worth the time even if free.
  • story
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is generally criticized for being unoriginal and underwhelming, with many reviewers noting a lack of depth and creativity. While some players found it enjoyable, they felt it could benefit from a longer narrative and more engaging plot twists. Overall, the story does not meet the expectations set by the gameplay experience.

    • “The story was good, but it felt a tad underwhelming, especially with the twist involving the old lady not being the killer. Despite this, the game is best described as game-changing and has my honest hopes for being the next big game of the year. Good job, good sir or madam.”
    • “There is no story.”
    • “Very overdone ideas, uncreative story, but it's one and done and that's all you get.”
    • “The story could be better, and the game could be a bit longer.”
