A ridiculously short (my playthrough total was around 90 minutes) horror puzzler, that has plenty of potential lore and world building to explore, as well as delivering some truly spine tingling sound effects, creeping dread and sharp jump scares. Unfortunately it is frequently squandered by a frustratingly thin story with a shockingly abrupt ending. Clunky movement, repetition in both its story and scare tactics are also certainly noticeable. You will begin to realise fairly soon when not to worry about the creaking and shuffling oddities behind you. Graphically the game is solid and there is some fun and creative horror imagery on display, but it is fleeting due to the pacing. For its cheap price I would say it is worth a peek for horror fans, but only if you have a gap in the schedule, as it certainly isn't essential.
