Me surpreendeu positivamente. O jogo e basicamente um Pacman de terror, mas ele consegue fazer isso funcionar de uma maneira bem unica. A historia também e bem legalzinha. O único ponto que deixa um pouco a desejar é na questão do terror, o jogo foca mais no susto do que no medo, de qualquer forma o saldo é positivo 8,5/10.
