- “The story turns into a dark horror of mysteries and puzzles solvable just with household items.”
- “However, after a while the notes stop leading and you're left to wander a dark, three-story house in dead silence while fumbling around for a way to complete the game.”

- “The atmosphere was nicely done.”
