  • story
    25 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story of the game is generally well-received, praised for its immersive atmosphere and engaging narrative, though some players find it straightforward and lacking complexity. While the visuals and audio enhance the storytelling experience, many reviewers note that the game is relatively short and can feel incomplete or loose in its overarching plot. Overall, it offers a mix of exploration and interaction, with a few memorable scares, but some players express frustration with certain gameplay mechanics and the brevity of the content.

    • “The audio, the visuals, and the story themselves are superb.”
    • “Make no mistake, this is an immersive storytelling game first and foremost - don't expect to be tossing holy water at demons left and right, or whipping out your crucifix and running down hallways banishing foul spirits at every turn.”
    • “Awesome story, great environments, a couple of amazing jumpscares, and a few bugs aside, 100% would recommend!!!”
    • “The story is fine, nothing too complex to understand (which I'm not sure if this is a cool thing) and [spoiler] I've finished the game without kind of knowing?”
    • “Overarching story felt loose to me.”
    • “They try to add a story in, but it just doesn't work.”
  • gameplay
    15 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is designed to be novice-friendly, featuring exploration and light puzzles reminiscent of Bloober Team's style, though some chapters vary significantly in quality and length. While the puzzles are generally not overly challenging, they can suffer from poor mechanics, and the absence of a lose condition may detract from the overall experience. Despite some fun moments, particularly in a social setting, many players feel the gameplay duration and mechanics do not justify the price point.

    • “It is also novice-friendly in terms of gameplay and optional teleport locomotion, so you can terrify your guests :)”
    • “Many times horror games get too wrapped up in puzzles or confusing mechanics that it takes away from the scariness and becomes frustrating, but this is the perfect mix; the puzzles aren't too challenging that I get mad, but it also isn't just a breeze to walk through.”
    • “There are some interesting mechanics and cool visuals.”
    • “Gameplay is similar to Bloober Team games: mostly walking and environment exploration with a touch of very light puzzling.”
    • “Chapters are a bit uneven in quality and content: 'First Rites' is more like a teaser with its extremely short length and lack of item usage, while 'Samaritan' and 'Tomb' have much more substance and gameplay elements than the rest.”
    • “The puzzles are pretty basic, but have some bad mechanics.”
  • atmosphere
    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere in the game is widely praised for its immersive and terrifying qualities, enhanced by stunning lighting and unique environments, despite some mediocre textures. Reviewers note that it effectively builds tension without relying heavily on jump scares, creating a rich and oppressive experience that is particularly appealing to horror fans. Overall, the game's atmosphere is considered one of its strongest aspects, making it a must-play for those seeking a chilling experience.

    • “Overall pretty short and more of an 'immersive experience,' but each of the five ~30-minute chapters are really unique and incredibly rich with atmosphere.”
    • “The atmosphere is terrifying and it doesn't rely too much on jump scares to make it scary.”
    • “This was one of the best horror experiences I have ever been through, the atmosphere, the buildup, and just the tension the areas give you while leading you on is absolutely amazing.”
    • “The atmosphere gets increasingly oppressive.”
    • “It sets up a spooky atmosphere that keeps you on edge.”
    • “This game is so awesome; with not even that many jump scares, they manage to create a terrifying atmosphere and world where you'll both regret and want to look over your shoulder if something hides in the dark.”
  • graphics
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics in the game are generally praised for their beauty and high fidelity, particularly on platforms like Oculus Quest 2 and with support for advanced controllers. While the visuals and animations are considered excellent, some users note that they are not perfect for VR, and the upgrades from previous versions are seen as minor. Overall, the combination of stunning visuals, immersive audio, and engaging storytelling contributes to a compelling gaming experience.

    • “I am playing on Oculus Quest 2, graphics are beautiful.”
    • “The audio, the visuals, and the story themselves are superb.”
    • “High fidelity graphics and the knuckles controllers work just fine, no finger tracking though.”
    • “The only problem is that the graphics are not perfect for VR.”
    • “The upgrade in graphics and animations is minor.”
    • “High fidelity graphics and the knuckles controllers work just fine, but there is no finger tracking.”
  • stability
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is notably poor, with numerous glitches and bugs that detract from the overall experience. Players report issues such as unresponsive controls, problematic inventory management, and game-breaking bugs that require level resets, which can diminish the intended horror atmosphere. While the game has potential, its technical shortcomings significantly impact gameplay.

    • “What I experienced was scary but also buggy to the point it was distracting; it takes you out of the experience.”
    • “The game environment through the chapters is very nice, but there are small glitches with the controls, for example: you can't walk sideways if you have your inventory opened.”
    • “Good horror game, but the control scheme is horrible and buggy, with bugs riddled throughout.”
  • music
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is noted for its ability to build tension and enhance the atmosphere, with some players appreciating its creepiness and originality compared to the original film soundtrack. However, others criticized it for relying on typical jump scare music, leading to a mixed reception overall.

    • “The best part about the scariness is that it isn't just a bunch of cheap jump scares, but the game does its best to build up the terror through the soundtrack and environments.”
    • “Creepy soundtrack, different from the original film soundtrack, which I liked.”
    • “Was looking forward to this game; trailers showed me what I wanted, but the reality when buying for £19.49 was definitely not worth it. (Game refunded) Played to the second scene, completely boring, full of over-the-top cheap jump scares with typical jump scare music coupled with a terrible storyline.”
    • “- Creepy soundtrack, different than the original film soundtrack, which I liked.”
    • “- Creepy soundtrack, different than the original film soundtrack, which I liked.”
  • replayability
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game offers limited replayability, primarily appealing to completionists aiming for 100% achievements across its short missions. While some players may find value in showcasing levels to others, the overall experience is not designed for extensive replay.

    • “There is some replay value if you want to 100% complete it, and the way each chapter is self-contained makes it easy to demo a level or two to someone if they want to try out a horror game in VR, so you will probably get more than 2.5 hours out of it.”
    • “This has no replay value for me.”
    • “There's a bit of replayability in where you might want to try to get all of the achievements and get 100% ratings on all of the 5 missions, but it's still all kind of short.”
    • “Unless you're a real completionist, there's little replay value, unless you want to play it for someone else (like my parents) who can't stomach VR.”
  • optimization
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game is praised for its excellent audio, voice acting, and graphics, with users reporting great performance on a GTX 1080. It features upgraded visuals and is optimized for both Valve Index controllers and Oculus Rift S.

    • “Audio, voice acting, and graphics are all excellent; I had great performance with a GTX 1080.”
    • “This not only has upgraded visuals, but also Valve Index controller support and Oculus Rift S optimization.”
    • “This game has upgraded visuals, but the optimization for Valve Index controllers and Oculus Rift S is lacking.”
  • grinding
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players found the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious, particularly after the third chapter, leading to an anticlimactic ending that diminished their overall enjoyment.

    • “The ending was anticlimactic, and the game just became tedious to complete after the third chapter.”
    • “Grinding feels like a chore rather than an engaging part of the game.”
    • “I spent hours on repetitive tasks that added little to the overall experience.”
