I believe this game came out originally in 2012 but it wasn't until 2016 when it got released on Steam with an updated version that included new graphics. In 2020, another graphical upgrade was made to the game (and provided free of charge to owners of the 2016 version).

I completed this game entirely by playing the 2016 version viewing all endings and playing the "if" scenario that adds more to the story. I only put a few minutes into the 2020 version but it seems like besides the updated visuals, the game also features new menus and perhaps slight new room arrangements in the Drevis residence (location where the game takes place).

I really enjoyed the atmosphere, characters and story of the game. The true ending was not of my liking but you win some and lose some. The game itself is not really scary but it does a great job of creating this horror atmosphere through the creepy setup and rooms at the Drevis residence combined with the twisted background of the characters and their actions.

Gameplay is focused on exploration, puzzle solving, some stealth segments and some quick-time events. Puzzles are interesting and for the most part fairly straightforward. Here's hoping that the developer at one point decides to expand upon the story and lore of this game (as hinted by endings and if scenario this game can easily be expanded).

If you enjoyed this game make sure to check out Misao which is a game by the same developer that provides some loose references/connections to this game.
