decent enough thriller
Its a nice looking game, atmospheric, with nonintrusive music and voice acting. The graphics serve, though a bit basic. Premise starts off really creepy then with time becomes more of a puzzle game than horror, which was ok by me. There are plenty of jump scares, creepy sounds, objects moving on their own, pitfalls and tapes to find along with correspondence which drives the plot along. There is basic crafting which I found pleasurable. The horror theme is cliche, scary decrepit asylum weve seen before many times. Game does wear on you as you enter a room and cant get out until you solve the puzzle, and with saves only at certain places that can mean you lose alot of progress if you need or want to quit. I dont understand why devs insist on checkpoint saves, to me it tells me the devs have made the decision that they think their game is more important than their players being called away from their precious game for real life issues such as children, family, jobs, etc. took a star off for that inconvenience. too many times i wanted to quit but had to work out several puzzle rooms to get to the next save point. screw that. its fun enough, dont expect it to be super scary but as an exploration, puzzle game along the lines of Portal with a horror theme it was ok. get it on sale.
