“But the dev apparently thought this would be much too easy on us all, and therefore added a randomly-appearing quick-time mechanic which requires you to pounce on the space bar quicker than a cheetah pouncing on its prey.”
“The video looked interesting, the gameplay didn't seem original but at least looked fun -- for $1.79 at 40% off, it was an easy decision.”
“Ten out of ten for originality and a shameless lack of political correctness, minus nine for an almost total absence of enjoyable gameplay...and I'll be generous, and award another point back for the fact of it being genuinely spooky when the lights go out and the little people come for you.”
“The gameplay makes no sense.”
“The only real gameplay you will get out of playing it will be force quitting it and then contacting Steam for a refund ASAP.”
