This game is a true love letter to classic survival horror games. It has that fantastic pacing I always look for in these games, a very fun interconnected map, fun and stressful gun-play, resource management that never impeded my progress but made me think about how to use my ammo. The enemy variety was also quite impressive, this game has quite a few interesting enemy types.

The story was very intriguing and always kept me engaged. The characters are pretty unique and memorable for the most part. I do think one of the plot-twists was a bit predictable but I still love how it played out in the end and I think the amount of storytelling in this 7 hour game was really commendable.

I only have a couple small complaints: the enemies sometimes get a bit janky with the level geometry. At most this made me lose a bit of immersion but ultimately it wasn't a big issue, just something that could be fixed up a bit. I also think one or two puzzles were a bit unintuitive, mainly the second storeroom secret. At the end of the day it's just a secret collectible so it's not a big deal but it did mess up my pacing a bit.

Final verdict: please play this if you like survival horror games like Silent Hill and Resident Evil. I can't describe how refreshing it felt to play a new game of this genre in 2024. I'm gonna keep an eye on this studio, I need to see what they do next.
