March 2025

Honestly, fantastic short(ish) psychological horror game. Some of the jumpscares were cheesy, yes, but a few of them did get me. Graphics are good, gameplay is easy, and the puzzles are not too complicated, coming from someone who typically gets frustrated and has to google walkthroughs lol. The story had a few plot twists as well, but the final plot twist was a shocker, I didn´t see it coming. All in all, I can tell a lot of work went into this one. For such a short game I don´t know if I´d say it´s worth $10, but I scooped it on sale, so I cannot complain. I thoroughly enjoyed this one. 8 out of 10

Nice little game. Graphics aren't the greatest, but the setting and decor is done very well. The atmosphere is well created and the story unravels in an unusual way, just as your own mental state is both unravelling and coming to the conclusions it needs to reach. Unfortunately both the text and the voice acting are a little stilted and contain numerous spelling/grammatical errors, to the point that it often feels rushed or poorly translated into English. But that's definitely its biggest failing, as the rest of the game is very much enjoyable. Took me less than 2 hours to play. Wish it were longer! 7/10

This game has its moments, but ultimately it’s a mixed bag of highs and lows. Starting with the positives, the environment design initially impressed me. The early sections were thoughtfully crafted but later things stated making a little less sense. Additionally, the lower-quality models became increasingly noticeable in the brighter sections of the game. What might have been acceptable in dimly lit environments felt jarring under direct light, pulling me out of the experience, specifically when you are in the garden. The sound design was really good. The ambience throughout the game was consistently strong, adding a lot to the atmosphere. It kept me engaged even during slower sections where not much was happening. The inclusion of a well-chosen ending song was a nice touch that provided a satisfying close to the audio experience. Unfortunately, the story and translation leave much to be desired. Despite being fully voiced in English, many parts of the narrative were almost incomprehensible due to poor translation. This was particularly frustrating because these moments were some of the most pivotal in the game, and they completely broke the immersion. It’s difficult to stay invested in a story that often makes little sense. I wont say anything about the story itself as the issues I had could just be because of the issues with the translation. At $12 CAD its really not worth a buy, but at the 80% discount its an okay way to burn 2 hours. Also while I didn't use it the inclusion of VR is always a plus. TL;DR: While the game has its strengths in ambience and audio design, its inconsistent environment quality, glaring texture issues, and incomprehensible story hold it back significantly. If you value atmosphere over narrative cohesion, you might find some enjoyment here, but for most players, this game will likely feel more frustrating than fun.

Dec. 2024

Psychological horror focused on exploration, with a few jumpscares, a few very simple puzzles, good graphics, creepy vibe and interesting albeit cliche story. Reminds me of Layers of Fear but with less interactions, puzzles and achievements. It's also much shorter. I think the price is decent for the amount of content and quality. Overall a good game in the genre. Some people reported some issues in discussions like bugs and glitches, but there doesn't seem to be any major problems. I personally didn't find any during playthrough. It can be played with VR set, but I don't have one so I can't say anything about this feature.
