Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“While initially a very interesting concept, the use of horror and supernatural elements to tell a story about people feels very out of place in a game which such a grounded base for a story to tell.”
“The story maybe good, but the game itself is quite boring. Too many performance of storytelling but less of play, And the scene is always too dark to see.”
