    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

The inclusion of collectible fliers adds an enjoyable layer to the missions, while the overall visual design effectively supports the narrative's eerie atmosphere.

    • “It gives you a perfect set of challenges to juggle (dealing with monsters, using your tools sparingly, and keeping your sense of direction), and it has a clear and consistent direction of horror (awesome visual design, flyers, and sense of story ambiguity).”
    • “Gameplay is claustrophobic in a good way, and requires good route and vital management to complete the missions on time and not get consumed by the phantom.”
    • “The fliers are a cool touch to add a collectible aspect to the missions, which is enjoyable.”
