I hesitate to call this game "horror," since it never really scared me. For me, it evokes the same morbid curiosity I get from reading the SCP wiki. Combining that experience with a gameplay loop where you use callers' descriptions (some more vague than others) to deduce what manner of anomaly they're experiencing in their homes was nothing short of genius on the part of the developer. The Windows 95-inspired interface through which it is presented only serves to elevate the experience, and is the proverbial icing on this cake.

The calls and their order are scripted, so there's no replay value, but the experience I had was well worth $15, so I don't mind at all.
