“The story, the atmosphere, the creepy mannequins… this game isn’t a complete scare your pants off but gives you a feeling that you are being watched and feel like something is going to jump out at you at any given moment.”
“Dalakoala Games has put together some devious puzzles and an unnerving/captivating story to go along with it that really impressed this gamer very much.”
“There's just the right amount of tension and atmosphere; the story I didn't figure out until the end, which was great because it kept me guessing, and doesn't need or use jump scares to hold tension.”
“I think if the story were focused on telling it with real and concrete resources, avoiding supernatural elements, such as dolls appearing out of nowhere, it might be more interesting.”
“Another aspect of this game that bothered me personally is that the story heavily focuses on the murder of an innocent small child by his parents.”
“Storytelling: my biggest criticism might be about this.”
