Oct. 2024

I knew this game was about anxiety and depression when i started, as it says in the warning before you play this game, but even then i did not expect this to affect me so emotionally. It left me crying for a few minutes after i finished it for reasons i can't or don't really want to put into words in this review. The game play itself was very enjoyable. Felt like an old PS1 type horror game with a few different ways for controls. Like WASD movement or tank controls or mouse clicking or a virtual joystick (didn't try playing with an actual controller as i found WASD perfectly fine.) I'm not very good at puzzles in games at times so i was worried i was gonna be a bit lost and will need guides to help me but i did not need one a single time and the puzzles were super enjoyable and satisfying to solve, you even get a few hints from a character if you struggle. Such a good game. A solid 9/10 and worth my money. <3

Really tries to explain the age-old question, "Why the long face?" Unfortunately, it's done with far too much tell rather than show. This would include some overly childish and just borderline cringey dialogue despite having a story which revolves around mental disorders and serialized death/murder. Still, it's a generally enjoyable and fun puzzle horror game deep fried in nostalgia. It doesn't do anything new or significantly interesting which I haven't seen in other works. The "resolution" if you can call it that leaves me wanting more, but I wouldn't say it's satisfying either. Far too much of the story is unanswered, and a good bit of the dialogue is just the main character asking - with various success - what is going on and why. Ultimately, this is another "death loop" horror game. Much like all of the other games in this genre, this game can easily boil down to heavily orchestrated "do this, go here at this time, repeat this, continue on ad nauseam" until you finally get it right. It's no where near as tedious or as difficult as something like House or Outer Wilds. It's also not as clever with it's odd solutions. The stalking horror ultimately doesn't lend itself well to this part of the revelation. Instead of the monster being this scary thing which catches you off guard, it's a nuisance to be avoided, ultimately turning this puzzle game into a janky Dead By Daylight-lite looping simulator. While the game does expect death resets, it's also not very unique with it's handling of "perfect" playthroughs; I was hoping for some hidden dialogue or a secret ending. It's a perfectly average and generally enjoyable puzzle game with the occasional horror elements tacked on. It has taken quite a bit from other games, although the remixes and odd combinations - most notably the Grubcore puzzles - were a pleasant change. Worth the play through on sale.

Among my favorite games. Brilliant design. mixing coming of age with slasher horror. the dither low-res is visuals are beautiful. The fixed but changing camera angles boost the atmosphere with the single monster haunting you throughout the time loop. Sadly no official Linux support but it runs perfectly including the Steam Deck,

Much like Observation a few years back (the one where you play as an AI on a space station, not the one where you play Rutger Hauer doing noir detective stuff in dead people's brains) this feels like a game tailor made for Me because it's basically a decent horror novella that you get to read new chapters of by solving puzzles. Unfortunately they didn't quite home-run the ending for -what I assume to be- budgetary reasons. As it's crying out for a playable epilogue to actually make it make proper sense, rather than what it does which is sort-of gesturing at a lots of disparate things that could be what's going on then scarper. That said, I liked it alot! It felt authentic and genuine, we all loved Outer Wilds and it's great to see games stealing that idea and doing their own thing with it. Plus; it wasn't stupid youtube jumpscare fodder which elevates it above 99% of horror games straight away. Double thumbs up recommended.

I just finished this game and let me tell you... wow. I deal with depression, anxiety, and OCD (triple whammy) and this game, Emily in particular, really spoke to me. All the characters were very well written and I came to love each and every one. The ending left me crying. I wasn't expecting the game to be as story focused and emotional as it was, and I literally couldn't put it down (beat it in one day) I'm not one to pick up horror games, but the Groundhog Day-esque puzzle solving really drew me to it. I did have to look up some help, but that's mainly because I rush through things and have to learn the hard way lol. After a few bumps, I was able to get into a groove that was challenging but not confusing. As for the horror aspect, this was the perfect kind of horror for someone like me. Time increasingly gets shorter, and the danger becomes familiar but greater. Your heart stops jumping from scares and goes instead towards racing, rushing before time runs out and the scares get you. It was fun and didn't rely on cheap scares to create a good spooky atmosphere. All in all, this game exceeded all expectations and I'm almost disappointed I waited until it was on sale to buy it. 1000/10, would (and will) play again! (P.S. would love to see more merch for this game)
