As far as niche, low-budget, and low-price horror games go, this is up there in the cream of the crop. While I deduct points for it having little actual gameplay, the fact that it managed to be genuinely terrifying with just a few sound effects, perfect pacing, and an actual Lovecraftian atmosphere make it really easy to recommend to anyone who calls themselves a fan of the genre.

Unfortunately, it also falls into the same horror trapping where the game encourages you to replay it, which dulls the impact of certain moments, but it's more forgivable in this case because you're more trying to piece together everything than expect more scares.
