Jan. 2025

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.

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.

Cool game to play during an evening with your friends on Parsec for example. Took us almost 2 hours to complete it. The story is well constructed leading you to think about different hypothesis on the twist, this is very valuable to me about that kind of game. It could've been cheaper tho. Considering it as the price of your evening and it's a yes. Good indie game, recommended.

If you like horror games like Layers of Fear this one is for you. Amazing horror experience with decent garaphics and imaginative visuals. Works well in VR

Feb. 2024

Liked it, they didn't overdo it with jump scares, if you died it wasn't "that big of a deal". Easy read psychological horror with puzzles everyone can do. Buy it when it's on sale, takes about 90 minutes.
