Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“I liked how the game started, but everything went downhill to the point where I was begging for it to end.”
“The cistern section of the game where you are chased by the mutated old lady was frustrating. There are parts here where she comes out of nowhere which I'm sure are scripted such as after coming from the pump room and you find a dead end…”
