Got this for a few cents in a bundle some years ago. This is your default, classic, cookie-cutter, vanilla style indie horror game with everything needed in it including the bugs everyone loves about indie horror! It is not very scary but makes a fun challenge to kill some time or get back into horror games (especially the nostalgic indie ones). I like that the achievements, although a bit buggy, are actually all achievable (as of version 1.33). Get this on sale if you are bug-resistant.
