  • atmosphere20 mentions

    The atmosphere of the game is widely praised for its creepiness and effective sound design, creating a tense and immersive horror experience. While some players noted that the atmosphere can feel basic or occasionally reliant on cheap jumpscares, many appreciated the game's ability to maintain a chilling mood throughout its short duration. Overall, the combination of dark environments, strong graphics, and well-placed scares contributes to a compelling psychological horror atmosphere.

    • “However, I would still recommend it due to its extremely dark environment, its scary atmosphere, and the fact that the game only lasts about 30 minutes to an hour.”
    • “The atmosphere is really creepy and sets the mood throughout the game.”
    • “The atmosphere is done very well and it really sets the mood, and the jumpscares are very effective and well placed (be warned, they will catch you off-guard).”
    • “The atmosphere in the game is basic.”
    • “However, I wouldn't recommend this product to anyone; the game itself feels wanky and clunky. The killer's AI ruins the whole feeling of the atmosphere buildup, making it more funny than scary.”
    • “I haven't found all the notes (and I plan to), so I'm hoping the world will be easier to understand then; but poor translations and a stale atmosphere pull me away from the seriousness of the player character's situation.”
  • story18 mentions

    The story aspect of the game is generally criticized for its poor translation, leading to confusion and difficulty in understanding the plot, which often feels disconnected from gameplay.

    • “A good game with a story that unfolds as you play through it.”
    • “Don't be afraid, hug him and understand that all this time all he wanted was... love, and you will understand that the plot in this game is much deeper than you thought.”
    • “The story is hard to figure out due to poor translation, which unfortunately can make figuring out puzzles a little difficult.”
    • “Unfortunately, this is another game that relies too heavily on jumpscares and doesn't really have a cohesive story.”
    • “Also, the story and your motivation for exploring a creepy house is fairly nonsensical and silly, and the English translation is very dodgy altogether.”
  • graphics16 mentions

    Overall, the graphics of the game are generally well-received, with many players praising the visuals, atmosphere, and sound design as strong points. While some noted that the graphics may rely on free assets, they still found them appealing, especially given the game's low price.

  • gameplay10 mentions

    • “The gameplay itself is quite barebones.”
    • “The game itself is a walking simulator, which I don't mind as I think horror games can be very scary despite some basic gameplay, but the game itself is not scary.”
  • humor3 mentions

    The humor in the game is derived from unexpected moments, such as amusing texture glitches and jump scares that elicit laughter. However, the overall experience is marred by clunky gameplay and ineffective AI, leading to a shift from intended horror to unintentional comedy.

    • “The jump scares, in my opinion, were fun and made me laugh like a fool afterward.”
    • “The game ran fine, no stuttering, though reloading saves can lead to some funny texture issues that may take longer than expected if playing on mediocre hardware.”
    • “It just became funny rather than scary to play this game.”

  • stability3 mentions

    The game's stability is mixed, with some players encountering bugs that cause the "seeker" to get stuck and AI behavior to be erratic, while others report a smooth experience without any issues. Overall, the presence of bugs can disrupt gameplay for some users, but not everyone experiences these problems.

    • “The game is a little buggy, where the 'seeker' gets stuck and either you have to run through him to get out of the situation, or sit there grumbling like I did for 10 minutes.”
    • “The AI is a little buggy at times where it would breathe in front of the window and I'd have to get hit on purpose to make it patrol again.”
