Before you start playing, be aware that this game is not forgiving. It doesn't allow repeated deaths without consequences. If you die, you'll be punished: your world will reset, and you'll need to find all the items again, this time in different locations. On top of that, the more often you die, the more difficult the game becomes, with additional monsters appearing to challenge you. So, it requires either some gaming skills or just a good guide on Steam (as mine).

Saving systems are only useful when you need to close the game, allowing you to continue from where you left off. They cannot be used to reload a save before dying. This can be a downside for many players who are used to having a safety net (like autosaves or checkpoints) to cover for stupid mistakes. In this game, there's no rewinding to undo a bad decision, so you’ll need to stay sharp and own your actions.

Another problem (for many people, not for me) is that dying in this game isn't just about being killed by monsters. It also includes what’s known as “cheap deaths” which (in this game) refers to getting killed by environmental hazards, often just by touching something stupidly. So, stay alert. Remember, curiosity kills the cat.

It wouldn’t be fair for the game to receive negative reviews simply because players make careless mistakes and face the consequences. Remember, the game is fully beatable without taking a single hit or firing a single bullet, you just need to approach it with a bit more strategy and awareness than usual.

Overall, I’d strongly suggest ignoring the complaints from players who struggle simply because they refuse to adapt. Don’t let their frustration distract you from experiencing an exceptionally well-designed and atmospheric horror game.

Considering its (real) bad part, this game doesn’t rely on jump scares, which, personally, is a downside for me since I enjoy that sudden jolt of fear. For a horror game to succeed without jump scares, it needs to excel in atmosphere, sound design, visuals, and overall presentation. While this game does a good job in those areas, it doesn’t quite reach the level needed to fully compensate for the lack of jump scares. As a result, I found myself yawning more often than feeling genuinely scared.

Another (real) bad part that is not related to skill issues is that the enemies in this game are insufficient. There should be more monsters and more ways to deal with them. Currently, the enemy can be dealt with just by crushing. Seriously? It loses a sense of terror. This is a big thumbs down for me.
