Played this game at launch and abandoned it pretty quick. At launch, trials were immensely tedious with NPCs who would set up post outside your hiding spots for MINUTES at end. After mainly failed trials, I became more scared of losing than any jump scares or chases.

Having tried this out again in March of 2024, the game feels much more balanced and fun. There are 5 initial trials (est. 1 - 1.5hr completion per) and 2 challenges per trial (est. 20 - 30min completion per). I binged all initial trials and challenges within 15 hours with my friend, and it was fun — I recommend the game up to this point.

At 15 hours, I had amassed enough tokens to leave the trials, and was required to complete a more difficult solo trial to be "reborn". The game tells you that when you are reborn, you will gain access to additional content — which is exciting. It took me 2 tries to complete the solo trial, and I was frankly disappointed to see that the reward for this effort is just a new difficulty for the previous trials and challenges. Realistically, my playtime will fall-off now that I know that I'll spend another 15hr or so getting to this point again, and only unlocking a third difficulty.

Do I recommend this game? Yes I do: it's reasonably priced (~$1/hr) and fun. I am disappointed with the amount of content, however, and the only thing that will bring me back is another 5 new trials and/or VR compatibility. I'd rate the quality of this game an 8/10, the co-op experience a 9/10, and the content in this game a 5/10.
