The story is generally regarded as intriguing and unique, with a strong atmospheric presence that enhances the horror experience.

The game itself feels like you're in some sort of cross between an odd Twin Peaks/Soundgarden (Black Hole Sun) music video, where everything is slightly unnerving and layered with a feeling that makes you a bit uncomfortable, like something seriously bad is about to go down, but it fizzles out.”
