Pros.
- Effective implementation and presentation of social media’s effect on mental health…
- Impressive environmental graphics and sound work…
- Antagonist/creature is a shuffling, chirping, twitchy nightmare.
- First person/walking sim feels like a natural and fitting creative decision for the franchise…

Cons.
- … its messages are undeniably heavy handed and on the nose at points.
- … dialogue volume levels and lip syncing is off at points.
- … lacks the atmosphere and personality of the series. Take the franchise name out of the title and remove the couple of references in the game, then this is more Layers of Fear than SH.
- Final boss confrontation is a frantic, trial and error irritation.
