I have to say, the start of the game is incredibly boring. I understand these games need suspenseful intros and granted - when it hit me, it hit me GOOD. However me having to wait around just standing there and doing nothing for 30-35 minutes just for the intro just felt ridiculous. But hey, maybe I was the problem? I just feel like I did my objectives fairly quickly and was then forced to literally just stand around and be useless. There is an Arcade that you can play but that got old for me after 3 deaths. Perhaps it's a way for the devs to stop people from refunding the game early? Whatever it is, sucks that this is the way it is. With all that said, I have to admit Stay Out of the House must be my favourite entry from Puppet Combo games, in all seriouseness. Additional points for this game not relaying heavily on just ear-blasting screaming, and while yes - there is a little of that, it uh - can be *helped* I guess you could say, AND the devs graciously offered us a specific slider in the audio settings dedicated to screamers. Love to see that, because that's number 1 reason why I often have a hard time enjoying Puppet Combo's games, if they insist on making you go deaf before the age of 30 because, you know - loud = scary. In all seriouseness though, the scariest sh*t in this game is when you're focused on doing something, like aiming your screwdriver into a screw obscured by the horrible lighting, hands shaking as you hear steps in the distance slowly approaching, closer and closer, and you try to greed it a little bit because I mean SURELY you can make it... And the steps suddenly come much closer and much quicker, and in a second you're getting your ribs rearranged. Lack of any music here other than the sound ques is absolutely terrifying. Puzzles here are pretty straight forward, but there is a lot to do, and it's a good thing. The layout of the house is fun in that regard and you're never really lost. Though toward the end of the game I did get stuck for literally an hour, but turns out that to put it simply - gamers never look up xd Lastly, I LOVE the setting for this game! A young woman kidnapped and held prisoner in a farm. Makes you feel naked and vulnerable. This gives me a beautiful match-up of Leatherface from Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Jason Voorhees from Friday the 13th Part 2, absolutely perfect combo in my opinion! Also, before I finish this off - I would love for Puppet Combo to ditch the system where getting caught means waking up again in a different room and having less days before you get actually killed. I feel it's pretty useless, because, for me personally anyway - whenever I would get caught I would simply load the game. Yes, the saves are limited, but there's easily more than enough for you to save every now and then whenever you make some amount of progress. Ditch this mechanic, and instead maybe give us a variety of possible death animations, you know - a little more something like Granny had (and to clarify, I'm not a big fan of Granny but admittedly that game can stand it's own ground, I just thought that part of Granny would fit here a lot better than what we have). Of course, I'm not expecting for this to suddenly become a reality after so much time has passed, but if not that, then at least maybe for the future? ;) Besides, a man can dream :P In conclusion - the start of the game sucks wrinkly balls, but the rest of the game is absolutely amazing!

One of the most uncompromising and consistently harrowing survival-horror titles I've ever endured. I adore all things horror and I can with some confidence say that this may very well be one of the most relentlessly frightening experiences I've felt so mercilessly immersed in. It has it's fair share of problems, more than once I took a cheap or glitchy death and lost progress due to a bugs but even that couldn't keep me away. The trail & error moments can be incredibly disheartening and escape truly feels hopeless throughout... But for me, it made conquering the brutal trials and chipping away at the many challenges before you made it feel more rewarding when the walls fall and progress is at long last cemented. SOOTH is impossibly engaging in ways that few games can manage. Your survival is constantly being questioned and tested in ways that border on the supremely sadistic. Yet no matter how tense I felt, how frustrated I was when failure set me back, I just couldn't keep away from this monster of a survival horror experience. Top marks from coming from a horror aficionado and enthusiast. This game is rivaled only by Alien: Isolation & Amnesia: The Bunker in terms of game play scope and raw unimaginable terror. Consider yourself warned, this game does not mess around. It's an endlessly daunting nightmare and one that I just couldn't put down or get out of my head.

Overall good game. Memorable and worth playing except for: [*] some absolutely maddening key hunts (hint system? maybe better clues?) [*] some questionable puzzle design [*] plenty of (minor) bugs, lights coming on and off at random, enemies phasing through walls, buggy cinematics, etc. [*] story becomes unfocused and confusing by the end, with many unexplained elements and plot threads [*] part 3 is interesting, by part 4 (no spoilers) the game has worn out its welcome and becomes quite tedious Nevertheless, I consider this game a hidden gem. It is on par with many survival horror classics. And in hard mode it is quite challenging. Kudos devs!
