A short, supernatural horror game, cheap jumpscares, but pretty environments and well-done sound design, the story is a bit lackluster, but for what its worth? I'd recommend this, made me turn my pants brown

There's one specific time where it requires you to do something you never done before and I would have not figure it out without a walkthrough

This is rated by price of, length of, and quality of game per hour. That means if a Game is 15 dollars and takes 3 hours to complete, it's 5 dollars per hour of entertainment. If said 3 hours of entertainment are good for the cost, I recommend the game. In my opinion, well worth the price of admission. Not a title that will blow your mind, but entertaining, stable and worth the entertainment cost.

This has all the hallmarks of a good horror game. Jump scares are on par, the vision effects are great, and the limited lighting gives you a sense of danger. The puzzles are good too. If I had notes, I would have dropped the lighter fluid mechanic since it's actually just more annoying than anything. Also, the killer scenes I think are scripted, not random. I'd be okay with a walking simulator to learn the story, but the killer element is just unnecessary.
