Those Who Remain is a strong horror game, but it's not for everyone.
"Those Who Remain" is a single-player horror platformer game with an intriguing story and pretty visuals, set in the eerie, darkness-shrouded town of Dormont. Players navigate through two interconnected dimensions, solving puzzles and making morally challenging choices that impact the story. However, the game is reported to be very grinding, buggy, and has a dense atmosphere, which may not appeal to all players.

Critic Reviews
Those Who Remain
+ Jump scares utilized well + "Upside Down" realm is a nice touch - Controls poorly - Characters have no depth - No real difficulty (Xbox One copy reviewed on Xbox Series X. Also available on PC, PS4, and Nintendo Switch)

Staying in the light is your only real recourse against the horrors of this psychological thriller, but it can't quite step out of the darkness.

The emotionally-driven plot and moral choices drive you forward, even if the technical issues, puzzle difficulty and lack of scares tries to take you backwards
