Game direction was its biggest flaw. In my opinion it didn't really fuse the working and horror element together like I hoped it would. Besides that, it does nail those scary stalker moments well.

ambientação muita boa, controles ruins mas melhores que os os outros jogos, eu realmente gostei do sistema de fazer café jogo, e é um terror bem competente, me assustou, embora que eu seja medroso.

tem umas queda de fps bem paia

They turned my job into a bad horror game.

Genuinely scared the fuck out of me. The coffee-making controls are just okay, but it's a compact, slow-building nightmare.

Yeah stalkers are scary, but do you know what's scarier? This game's frame drops /s

Okay I'm joking, but my only/main complaint with this is the serious performance issues I faced in my play-through. One of the worst frame rate drops I've ever seen at the recommended resolution, and I only managed to get it properly working/playable at one of the lowest resolutions available. Maybe it's just my PC being a pain, but if that bothers you or ruins the experience for you, then I would not recommend this based on my experience.

Besides that, everything else was great and I loved how this game played out through the dialogue and atmosphere. Additionally, I really like how there's no 'good' ending in this game, as all the endings result in death. This game's events is unfortunately a serious reality for many women and more often than not don't end pretty, so I respect the developers for portraying it as such. If you enjoy horror games that don't necessarily rely on supernatural elements and don't mind playing at a lower resolution, then definitely check this one out.
