I hate horror games. I hate being jumpscared for no reason. I hate screamers and I hate the dumb ""scary"" things that every horror game on the planet likes to put in not because it's actually scary on any deeper level, but because it's easy and it gets youtubers to jump in their seat.

This is not one of those games.

The story is intriguing, the music is absolutely captivating, the puzzles and gameplay challenges are unique and interesting, but, above all, the environments in this game are PHENOMENAL. This could be a walking simulator with zero gameplay and it would still be worth it just for the sights alone!

The game doesn't try too hard to be scary. And that's a GOOD THING. Its atmosphere and audio tracks are perfect for making you slightly uneasy, but not enough to the point that a whimp like myself would stop playing. The game also doesn't try too hard to be difficult. Again, it's a GOOD THING. The gameplay challenges are there to engage you and to provide meaningful interactivity with the beautiful (and creepy) worlds you visit, not to obstruct your path.

I was very shocked to discover that this game is so unpopular with let's players. And that made me come to the unfortunate realization about why games like these are rare. They aren't going to make ♥♥♥♥♥♥ youtubers jump and scream and make thumbnail faces, so they fall into obscurity.

Don't let this game pass you by, it really is a gem in the rough and cringy world of horror games.
