Better than expected
I'm writing this review mostly because I want to ballance the unfair review by Karca.K, who is obviously biased because he says he was banned from a website for criticizing this game. I guess the real reason was different (like trolling, insulting others etc.) and he is now just whining here. My opinions are based on a few months old Steam version, the one at GOG can be patched etc. I was initially ignoring this game because it looked like another walking simulator mixed with jumpscare horror, but after watching gameplay videos on YouTube, I decided to give this one a try and I was positively surprised. It definitely has elements of walking simulator, actually it could be called tourism simulator, as some of the locations are based on real places and you will walk on pedestrian paths. For enjoying this game, it definitely helps if you are into hiking, depth dwelling or mountain climbing. But the walking is mixed with adventure features like picking and using items and even woodcraft. There are jumpscares but not as many as in most FPS horror games, the atmosphere is rather tense than purely scary. I really like the environment, most locations are beautiful and looking very realistic, things and buildings are not sterile but rusty and used. It's not a true that "a gifted IT student can create such countryside in a free 3D engine" as Karca.K says, it had to take a lot of work to do all of this. The story is not exceptional but not bad and quite adult for a computer game. The game even has multiple endings. What I dislike is the amount of climbing. Climbing works as a logical sub-game and it's fun for some time but later climbs are overly long which makes them rather boring. Some people might have problem with orientation in caves but if you ever played some old dungeon RPGs, this is probably better. Overall, not a game for absolutely everyone but definitely worth these 9 USD/EUR in Halloween Sale for most. Check YouTube for gameplays if you're not sure.
