- “I like the timore 1 the best, really great horror; the rest feel like they're falling off, but I must confess this one really surprised me with jump scares. I don't remember the last time I jumped so much! But that is pretty much it; I have no idea what the story is, no atmosphere, just one music track, but I still like the mannequins. I don't know, only if you played all parts, I suggest this game; it's just a jump scare simulator, but a really good one here.”

- “Game is quite repetitive, which adds to the boredom of a no-soundtrack environment.”

- “In all reality, the best part about this game is the completely random and hilarious trolls, like doors opening and closing as soon as you walk up to it.”
- “However, they mostly look silly with their smiles so wide. It definitely tries to be creepy, but overall it comes off as funny.”
- “I backed up to the back of the room and my flashlight goes out... and then the door opens and you see a thing staring at you and laughing. The whole room is dark, and you can't see anything other than the thing.”
