Players appreciate the immersive atmosphere and clever puns woven into the plot, making it a refreshing take on everyday life horror.

    • “Loved it, the style is great, based on a true story, what more can you ask?”
    • “While I don’t mind that the game is short (especially since it's based on a true story), $5.99 for a 1.5-hour game — where I streamed, chatted, and [spoiler]died multiple times[/spoiler] — makes the actual core gameplay even shorter.”

    • “It's a short but solid horror experience, around 90 minutes long, and the fact that it's based on a true story makes it even more unsettling.”

    The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it enjoyable once they adapt to its rhythm, while others criticize its standard mechanics and lack of depth, particularly in survival elements and choice-based outcomes. The controls are seen as complicated, and the transitions between gameplay and cutscenes feel awkward, detracting from the overall experience.

    • “On the plus side, the gameplay loop can be enjoyable once you get into the rhythm of it.”

    • “The overall story is good, but the gameplay is something that needs to be handled better next time.”
    • “While I don’t mind that the game is short (especially since it's based on a true story), $5.99 for a 1.5-hour game — where I streamed, chatted, and [spoiler]died multiple times[/spoiler] — makes the actual core gameplay even shorter.”
    • “Clearly the game is meant to be finished in one sitting, but considering how complicated the controls are followed by the survival mechanics, it's hard to be patient with it.”
    • “It wants to be a survival horror game with choice mechanics, but everything is so simple and almost bland.”
  • atmosphere
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are characterized by a nostalgic retro aesthetic reminiscent of PlayStation 1 visuals, which some players find charming and atmospheric.

    Reviewers note that the game's replayability is somewhat limited compared to the developer's previous title, "Pamali," which featured multiple endings that incentivized players to replay. This suggests that while the current game may offer some replay value, it does not match the engaging variety found in its predecessor.

    • “This might just be me comparing it to their previous title, Pamali, which had multiple endings that encouraged replayability.”
