Holy crap, is this ever terrifying. From the moment you step into a generically rendered asylum following the trail of a missing whats-her-name, it's just a non-stop thrill ride of collecting journal pages scattered around the repetitive environment as though by some drunken anti-literate. You move from recycled room to recycled room with only your useless flashlight to light the way, as the masterfully executed tension mounts until you are randomly accosted by a terrifying, low-res shadow something-or-other and accompanying generic shrieky noise.

As your sanity ebbs away, you notice it's wearing a hat. A horrifying black screen mournfully informs you that "he has captured your soul" before you exit out of the game and uninstall forever. Truly, the fear may dig deep but the memories dig deeper.

You drive up to a spooky mansion. You enter its spooky gates. You unlock the spooky door. The mechanics are set. You spend the first day in tedium. Looking for unlocked doors to find keys. To unlock doors. To find keys. To unlock doors. To find keys. You stumble around in the darkness like a fitfull drunkard, because the home owners buy their bulbs at discount bulb bulk barn. You find some flashlight batteries. Your character can't figure out how to pick them up without first finding the flashlight. Because your character is an idiot. You find a flashlight. Rejoice! The flashlight casts a bright beam. At last! The flashlight drops one level in power. You're back in the darkness. The flashlight doesn't understand how to flashlight. Two minutes later, it burns out completely. You had one job, flashlight. Find batteries. Replace batteries. Spend flashlight battery power looking for more batteries.

There's spooky stuff happening. But who cares because you can't see it. Spooky stuff repeats. The ghosts are annoyed you're not paying attention to them. You visit rooms. You look for keys. You re-visit rooms. You unlock doors. You find more keys. You re-re-visit rooms. You un-lock doors. You re-re-revisit rooms. You trigger some arbitrary event. You go to sleep. You wake up and realize you have to do it all over again. You walk out the front door and leave.
