Another pretty good game from Chilla's Art! This team are masters at creating and paying off tension. So many indie horror games rely heavily on jump scares, but Chilla's Art know the diminishing returns that come from that method. The dog barking at you after a creepy and tense bike ride, and the ghost near the end of the game were both great scares.
Chilla's Art games can feel a little underbaked at times, and they often bite off a little more than they can chew thematically (this game's handling of sexual assault doesn't quite work, for example) but they stand head and shoulders above most of their contemporaries in the indie horror space. We are truly blessed to get a new game from them every 6 months or so. I'm already looking forward to the next one!

The first two thirds of this game are masterfully designed! The levels are tight, devious little puzzle boxes that make endless speedrunning optimization almost compulsive. As it comes to a close the way forward in each level starts to get fuzzier, and the game starts to feel tedious.
The writing and narrative was definitely the weakest link. Every character is the weird guy at work that talks about twitter beef in real life. There's entirely too much of it too.

Hey, this game is good actually! It absolutely doesn't deserve the constant hate it gets online. The character designs and world are great, and the cut scene direction is excellent. The platforming can be a little imprecise, but it makes up for it with a crazy variety of play styles. The sense of humor the game has is great too, especially when it's at the players expense!
