Indie horror starts promisingly enough, with the regional specificity of its Norwegian setting standing out, and some storytelling that's a bit more ambitious than I would have expected from an indie horror game (perhaps a bit too much so for the limited budget, but that can be kind of endearing in a way).
Then I got to the game's first stealth section, which very quickly hits you with a trifecta of bad checkpointing, instant death if you get spotted, and art direction that makes it far too difficult to tell the difference between what's mere scenery and what's a traversable path necessary to advance forward. No thanks, I have better ways to spend my time.
