  • Compelling and suspenseful story with fascinating psychological and horror elements that create an eerie, captivating atmosphere.
  • Interesting dialogue and choice system that makes the player question decisions, with impactful patient interactions and character development.
  • Unique and well-executed aesthetic combining watercolor-like art style and unsettling ambiance, supported by fitting music and sound design.
  • Relatively short gameplay duration with a narrative that some find abruptly shifts to a thriller style, which may disappoint those expecting a deeper psychological treatment focus.
  • Lack of quality-of-life features such as save states, skip text, and clear feedback on choices, making replaying multiple paths tedious and sometimes frustrating.
  • The main character's actions may feel disconnected from player choices, harming immersion, and some story elements and endings have been criticized as illogical or unsatisfying.

    The story is generally praised for its compelling, suspenseful, and psychologically intense narrative with well-developed characters and effective horror elements, creating an engaging atmosphere. However, some players found certain plot directions illogical or generic, and noted limitations in player agency and feedback within the story's progression. Overall, the story is considered intriguing and worth multiple playthroughs, especially for those who enjoy psychological thriller themes.

    • “Very good short visual novel, with a compelling story, fascinating and creepy aesthetic and an interesting dialogue/choices system.”
    • “The story is suspenseful, and the patients are fleshed out well enough for me to care for them.”
    • “The plot and mystery are intriguing as well, the constant uncertainty was very thrilling to me.”
    • “Nearly everything else in the story is out of your hand, and your character does as they please and often doesn't reflect the approach or attitude I had towards the matter, which really broke the immersion.”
    • “From a very interesting concept for a game, with some genuinely interesting mechanics true to that concept, to a trash murder story that ruins all of it and takes on a direction of its own.”
    • “The story became bland and boring, and the plot illogical.”

  • gameplay

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is praised for its unique and engaging mechanics, particularly the client interaction system that requires thoughtful approaches based on personality and context. While the game's horror elements are subtle yet effective, some users feel the narrative direction detracts from the core gameplay strengths. Overall, the mechanics offer a compelling and enjoyable experience.

    • “I really like the game's artistic design, atmosphere, and some of the gameplay mechanics, and while the game isn't a horror game in the truest sense, the horror-ish aspects it offers are done quite well.”
    • “I honestly would take a full game of just treating clients though, since that mechanic was fun to play too-- figuring out the right approach based on personality and context clues, etc.”

  • graphics

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    60% positive mentions, 40% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The graphics feature a unique, uncanny, and surreal "old horror-movie" aesthetic that perfectly complements the psychological horror theme. The art style effectively captures the atmosphere of various phobias and traumas, enhancing immersion and creating a compelling, creepy visual experience.

    • “Great atmosphere and art style tailored to each phobia and trauma the game tackles.”
    • “The weird graphics create the perfect vibe for a psychological horror.”
    • “I really like the uncanny and surreal "old horror-movie"-like aesthetic; it truly managed to creep me out at times.”

  • atmosphere

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    75% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 25% negative mentions

    The game's atmosphere is highly praised for its effective blend of artistic design and horror elements, creating an oppressive, gloomy, and anxiety-inducing environment that complements its themes of phobia and trauma. The ambiance successfully enhances the storytelling and immerses players in a tense, uneasy mood throughout.

    • “Great atmosphere and art style complement each phobia and trauma the game tackles.”
    • “Not only is the story and art amazing, but the horror was executed perfectly, and the atmosphere at certain times genuinely had me feeling anxious!”

  • replayability

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, -50% neutral mentions, 50% negative mentions

    The game offers decent replayability due to numerous dialogue choices and varied client outcomes, making it a good value for the price. However, its design doesn't strongly encourage multiple playthroughs, limiting long-term replay potential.

    • “For less than 2€, totally worth it, and quite replayable.”
    • “In theory, the game has decent replay value because you have many dialogue choices and a huge impact on clients' outcomes.”
    • “In theory, the game has decent replay value because you have so many dialogue choices and a huge impact on clients' outcomes, but it isn't really set up well for several replays.”

  • grinding

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

    Grinding involves revisiting clients' fears through repeated head dives, which is engaging initially but becomes tedious in subsequent playthroughs. Additionally, players may require multiple attempts or resources, like a "second life," to effectively manage the grinding process.

    • “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
    • “There are various scenes where you go into a client's head and play out their fears, etc., which is great on the first playthrough, but these sections are tedious in subsequent playthroughs.”

  • music

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    50% positive mentions, 50% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The music score is well-received and impactful, enhancing the experience, though some users wish there was a greater quantity of music included.

    • “On top of that, the musical score really hits, though I'd wish for even more music.”

  • humor

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

    The game's humor is highlighted by its entertaining and witty dialogue options, which add a fun and playful element to the extensive choice-driven gameplay.

    • “The vast amount of choices makes it entertaining to experiment as well, particularly the funny dialogue options.”
