Cute, short game that was actually kinda scary. I enjoy the idea of only being able to have your gun or flashlight active at any given time. The atmosphere is also pretty spooky and well crafted, makes good use of the light mechanic. It was fun and allowed for some "natural" jumpscares that didn't feel super cheap. Gunplay is fine enough, though a bit basic and repetitive. The little notes you find giving story tidbits can be humorous, but don't offer anything too excitingly deep. It doesn't overstay its welcome, but it would be hard to as it's really only about an hour in length. There are alternate game modes like perma-death, no flashlight, and a slightly higher difficulty. However, aside from the idea of relying entirely on the environment or using your muzzle flash for sight, the challenge modes don't really appeal to me. I hardly struggled with the game as-is, and I don't think they would really do enough to spice up the gameplay. It's pretty decent for what it is, not bad by any means, but even on sale it feels a bit overpriced for what you ultimately get.
