I was too high and didn't really understand the story. But I liked the visuals

Great vibe and stylized graphics, game doesn't offer much besides that but it's enough to make it worth playing

Really caught me by surprise. I got it being a fan of the Robert Egger's Lighthouse film, but this really stands on its own and goes in a direction you don't expect.

First of all, it has probably one of the most unique experiences I've had playing a game which is having a second person controlled section where you are running away from something, but in the perspective of what's chasing you. This was so out there and cool and it really sold you on the mystery of what was chasing you. I really loved it.

And in general the atmosphere of this game is a knockout. And there's tons of minor moments and missable Easter eggs that reward exploration.,

The game's narrative is really abstract and hard to follow, but it is still engaging and it goes in some crazy directions.

The last third of the game feels a little weak to me, once you figure out what's going on. It sort of turns into a generic DOOM type shooter for a moment, but even this isn't too bad because there are many ways the story can go just from that event. I will also say it is worth replaying the game, but it can be a bit of a slog having to repeat the same events as before.

This is a great horror game and one I would highly highly suggest. I went through it and 100%ed the whole thing with all achievements. When I do that, the game is worth it

will make you shit bricks.

Heavy on the atmosphere, and a solid companion piece to The Lighthouse film which may or may not be directly inspired by. Falls under the “nice games to chill to” genre though it may unsettle some.
