Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“Not a bad game. My kid loves it. Game states it is VR compatible. This game is very broken and is not compatible with valve index controllers. Constantly crashes and freezes.”
“This is just a frustrating and cheap "horror" game which core elements are annoying gameplay to make you play longer and tasteless jumpscares that can only be scary to a random 10 year old whose favourite game is FNAF. Speaking of FNAF…”
