I interact with quite a lot of horror media. At this point, visual stuff never really does it for me. I’ve seen basically everything there is to see. This game really shows how sometimes less is more. There is no gameplay in this game. You walk, press a button and then listen and that’s basically it. But my god this game kind of fucked me up. Prior to this, I had never gone out of my way to watch any horror media that was about cults but after playing this game, I have really started to. This game made me realise how truly fucking horrifying cults are and I feel like it’s something most people do not properly grasp. If you just want to play video games for the exciting gameplay and cool jumpscares - and I don’t blame you - you will downright dislike this game. My advice is to not play it. However if you’re willing to let yourself be lost in a disturbing story for an hour or two, then I can’t recommend this game enough. Again, I knew little about cults prior to playing this game but even as I played it I had one thought in mind; this feels like such a real depiction of a cult. And I think that’s how the horror in this game really works. This feels like a story that really happened and these tapes were really recorded by the victims. Such a disturbing story but honestly this is one of those games that when I walked away from it, I just kept thinking about it and I doubt I’ll forget about it anytime soon. Really cool visuals, a very immersive story and it made me realise that cults really fuck me up! Definitely recommend to anyone who’s willing to give it a shot.
