    • “It gave a story, and kept you immersed through the entire time!”

    The graphics of the game have received positive feedback for their nostalgic low-poly and pixelated art style reminiscent of PS1 and PS2 titles, which many players find appealing. Reviewers appreciate the effective use of horror tropes and the overall visual presentation, noting that it enhances the storytelling and atmosphere of the game. Overall, the graphics are considered a strong point, contributing to the game's mystery and suspense.

    • “I will say I'm not into horror games, but the art style was top tier and reminded me of PS1 and PS2 games I've played growing up.”
    • “Nice PSX style graphics, great storytelling, and variety of levels.”
    • “From different callbacks to the PS1 era graphics, horror tropes, and classic jump scares, I can't wait to see what the dev has in store.”
    • “I was instantly enamored with the art style - low poly/pixellated is one of my favorites - and the premise is fascinating.”

  • atmosphere
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's atmosphere is visually stunning and effectively enhanced by its sound design, creating a suspenseful and eerie experience. Players appreciate the dark ambiance and the effective scares, although some found the lack of audio cues during stealth sections slightly frustrating. Overall, the atmosphere is a standout feature, making the game feel immersive and engaging.

    • “The atmosphere is impressive visually, but the sound design really ties it all together.”
    • “It feels very suspenseful and atmospheric in terms of how it conveys that dark feeling.”
    • “The atmosphere is properly eerie, and the spooks are effective.”
    • “There is only one section in the game where you have to hide in lockers. It wasn't too difficult, but it was slightly annoying because I could not tell how far away the monster was. He kept getting me around the corner. Maybe if you gave him some distance-based noise it would help (if he has one, I didn't hear much). For the most part, the game is just a walking sim that focuses on the atmosphere, with a few easy puzzles toward the end.”

    • “The witty dialogue and hilarious character interactions kept me laughing throughout the entire game.”
    • “I love how the game doesn't take itself too seriously, making even the most mundane tasks feel entertaining.”
