“Totally green player with no research on the game and I ran it in an hour or so with some breaks. It was spooky with no real spooks which actually was disappointing for me. I am almost concerned if the developer is the freak that knocks…”

“This has to be padded reviews... There really isn't much to this game at all. If you like puzzle games with good narrative, check out Firewatch instead. I know this one is free and Firewatch isn't but if you value your time, then skip this…”
