“The story follows Mike, an investigative reporter who has lost the love of his life and now drifts through a repetitive grind just to keep going.”
“You move through the environment and search for interaction points that either advance the story, reveal new information, or allow you to examine miscellaneous objects that add depth to the experience.”
“Very cinematic and great story!”
“Decent jumpscares, but overall fell flat because of the incomprehensible story—topped off by the laziest "choose your own ending" decision I have ever seen in a game.”
“Didn't find it scary; the game held your hand the entire time and there was no engaging story.”
“Also not sure how it's even early access being a single-player, linear story game that takes about 90 minutes to finish.”
