Great atmosphere and visuals with a creepy, wintry setting that enhances the horror experience.
Interesting and unique concept involving item collection and multiple endings which add replayability.
Effective use of sound and jump scares to create tension and immersion throughout the game.

Gameplay involves a lot of walking and searching which may feel like a forced collectathon and slow-paced for some players.
Story and character dialogue are somewhat underdeveloped, leading to a less engaging narrative experience.
