“"Horror" walking simulator + Great visuals and okay sound world. + Good environment design + Trading cards - Story is confusing and not that great. - Cutscenes are mostly meh and you cant skip them. - Few bugs and missing text content. …”
“Hard coded resolution. No control options, no sound options. Even an indie game shouldn't be this bad”
