  • atmosphere58 mentions

    The game's atmosphere is generally praised for its immersive and eerie qualities, enhanced by effective sound design and music that build tension. However, many reviewers feel that the reliance on jump scares undermines the otherwise strong atmosphere, detracting from the overall experience. While some appreciate the unique and creepy ambiance, others suggest that a more subtle approach could have made it even more impactful.

    • “The Watson-Scott Test made me feel like I had been pulled into the world of the game with its unsettling sound design and atmosphere.”
    • “The atmosphere was great, the intensity is fantastic, and the character development is nice.”
    • “The buildup of the atmosphere was just incredible too; the sound design is very good.”
    • “However, I wished this game would keep relying on atmosphere alone.”
    • “It does so well building a creepy atmosphere with ominous questions and eerie sound effects - and then it destroys everything and throws it right out of the window with a jumpscare, which is about as annoying and ineffective as a flashy ad popup.”
    • “The game's horror elements are largely limited to a few jump scares and eerie music, and it fails to create a truly terrifying atmosphere that would engage the player on a deeper level.”
  • replayability14 mentions

    Overall, the game's replayability is considered very low, with most players noting that it offers little incentive to return after the initial playthrough, aside from achievement hunting. While there are some random elements and different endings to explore, the short duration of the game (around 20-30 minutes) limits its long-term appeal. Many reviewers feel that the lack of substantial content makes it hard to justify the purchase.

    • “There is certainly some replayability here as well if you wish to look for 100% achievements.”
    • “It's not a long game by any means, maybe 20-30 minutes or so, but it has replay value with finding different endings and going through all the questions differently.”
    • “Some of the questions on the main test are random, so there's a little bit of replayability, though you should receive all the questions the test has to offer on your second go.”
    • “It doesn't have much replay value unless you're achievement hunting, so it's not fantastic for anything but something fun to do on a night when you're feeling like you need a good scare.”
    • “The replayability is very low for this game and at most you'll maybe get an hour out of it.”
    • “The game's short length and lack of replay value make it difficult to justify the purchase price, and it feels like a missed opportunity to create a more substantial and satisfying horror experience.”
  • gameplay12 mentions

    The gameplay is generally criticized for being minimal and short, with many players noting that it lasts around 20 to 30 minutes and often culminates in a cheap jump scare. While some appreciate its unique approach to the horror genre and its atmospheric elements, the consensus is that it lacks substantial gameplay mechanics and is not worth the price, especially when compared to other games offering longer experiences. Overall, it seems to serve more as a conceptual experience rather than a traditional game.

    • “For the gameplay (nature of the game) the devs definitely achieved their goal, showing there are more ways to experience the horror genre.”
    • “The gameplay is simple, but gradually gets into your mind and absorbs you.”
    • “There is barely any gameplay to be found.”
    • “30 minutes of gameplay that ends with a cheap jump scare, that's about it.”
    • “It's aesthetically in-line with its theme, but definitely not worth five dollars for 20 minutes of gameplay.”

  • graphics12 mentions

    • “It's aesthetically in-line with its theme, but definitely not worth five dollars for 20 minutes of gameplay.”
