  • The game has a strong and creepy atmosphere enhanced by VHS presentation, sound design, and unique environment.
  • The found footage style and non-linear storytelling through three interconnected tapes create an engaging mystery that encourages exploration and piecing together the story.
  • Gameplay features a mix of exploration, simple puzzles, and tense creature avoidance that builds suspense without relying heavily on jump scares.
  • Game is quite short, lasting about an hour, which some feel leaves potential ideas underdeveloped.
  • Several reports of frustrating mechanics and bugs, such as stuck spots, awkward controls (like the mouse wheel), and occasional crashes.
  • Some enemy AI and chase sequences are considered tedious or confusing, breaking immersion and causing frustration.

  • atmosphere

    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    56% positive mentions, 44% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The game's atmosphere is widely praised for its eerie, immersive, and creatively crafted environments that effectively build suspense and engage players. Exceptional sound design, unique settings, and a strong sense of mystery contribute to a compelling and memorable experience, even though some feel the atmosphere loses a bit of its edge once the story is explained. Overall, the atmosphere is a key strength that keeps players invested and adds significant value to the game.

    • “The atmosphere in this felt so fresh, so eerie with exceptional sound design, custom-built sets, and truly amazing environment, especially the part with the bridges and towers.”
    • “The atmosphere and lore is what really made me excited to keep playing, looking forward to more!”
    • “The overall atmosphere was really great and unique in a sense.”

  • gameplay

    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    30% positive mentions, 40% neutral mentions, 30% negative mentions

    The gameplay is generally simple and focused, with a short duration that suits its horror theme, though some mechanics feel raw or limited. Players appreciate the mixture of elements like parkour, puzzle-solving, and collecting, along with non-linear storytelling. While it may lack depth for extended play, its design effectively supports the intended experience and delivers enjoyable moments.

    • “There is not a huge amount of combat or complicated mechanics, which I think is the right choice for something this short.”
    • “The gameplay is quite simple and the one hour length means there is not enough here for me to give it one of my really high scores, but I would much rather have a short horror game that stays focused than one that fills the time with pointless sections.”
    • “I like the non-linear storytelling, variety in gameplay mechanics (parkour, puzzle solving, collecting, etc.), and overall visuals.”
    • “Gameplay wise and design wise it's got some raw problems that I think would bug me if it hadn't been free.”
    • “You have 2 batteries, horrible mechanics, and you're all alone!”
    • “The actual gameplay is fairly basic.”

  • story

    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    33% positive mentions, 34% neutral mentions, 33% negative mentions

    The story is intriguing and layered, enhanced by the use of three VHS tapes that provide non-linear storytelling and obscure environmental clues. While some puzzles can interrupt the narrative flow, the game delivers enough information to spark curiosity without overwhelming players with exposition. The blend of creepy atmosphere, unique plot elements like a blind monster and collected babies, and varied gameplay keeps players engaged despite occasional confusion about the overall plot.

    • “The three VHS tapes make the story more interesting than I expected.”
    • “I like the non-linear storytelling, variety in gameplay mechanics (parkour, puzzle solving, collecting, etc.), and overall visuals.”
    • “Love the aspect of the 3 tapes to branch off into different storytelling paths.”
    • “Some of the puzzles are quite simple, leading to moments where I am mainly walking from one story section to the next without much engagement.”
    • “I couldn't figure out the point or the plot because I spent 15 minutes trying to beat the part with the blocks and the blind guy.”
    • “It would be nicer to have a coherent plot, and for the blind monster not to be broken.”

  • graphics

    33% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 67% negative mentions

    Users generally appreciate the game's retro-style graphics and overall visual vibe, highlighting its atmosphere and variety in gameplay. However, some segments, like the blind guy portion, can cause frustration despite the appealing visuals.

    • “Retro graphics, creature chasing you, puzzles, single player.”
    • “I like the non-linear storytelling, variety in gameplay mechanics (parkour, puzzle solving, collecting, etc.), and overall visuals.”

  • grinding

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    Grinding in the game is criticized for being tedious and frustrating, especially during the final encounter and the blind monster chase sequence where enemy behavior feels inconsistent and limits player movement.

    • “The final encounter is really tedious and feels like you're given mixed messages about the enemy's behavior and how to deal with them both then and during a prior 'chase' sequence.”
    • “The blind monster is tedious because you can no longer run, and sometimes it just aggroes your position.”

  • music

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The music is widely praised for being captivating and enhancing the overall experience, complementing the game's engaging player movement and atmosphere.

    • “Music was captivating.”

  • stability

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
