One day you’ll realize you’ve hit that age. That age where you don’t understand what young people are talking about, and the games you grew up loving have become the new retro indie style. Cool twitch streamers are playing it but you wonder if it’s the same feeling as playing Silent Hill in 1999 and you go into that school classroom and the phone on the desk rings. Your mind has been imprinted. You will literally never forget this moment. The phone rings in this game too. But it’s not the same.

I’m sure there’s more indie horror of this variety that have come out lately but this and Signalis seem to have made the biggest impact on the larger gamosphere. I rated Signalis higher than this but maybe it’s because I played it first. I’m all for indie games doing whatever but I’m not sure my brain can sustain many more games that call back to a childhood I can’t have back.

Anyways, this game is fun. I like the chunky ps1 polygons. I finished it right before they added a hard mode which the game needed because it is way too easy.
