Insanely close to a horror masterpiece but fumbles the audio design and writing just enough to keep it from being particularly scary. The surreal artwork and slow pace establish an exceptional oppressive atmosphere that falters due to the music, sounds, and dialogue lightening things up a little too much. But I still love what the dev(s?) accomplished with this fan game regardless! Those boss designs are god tier and the X ending rocks! Would 100% recommend this to all 20 of my fellow Simon's Quest lovers.
