melee combat is dogwater and unavoidable. blocking is a trap. the puzzles are a lotta hunt down the code on a random wall or just pixel hunt the key and backtrack. shame too cause the levels sometimes accidently have a cool design and flow. but i only made it to about partway through the second chapter before i realized the true horror of this game...

Overview
Psychological single-player first-person horror. Explore dark environments, fight with melee and guns, and solve puzzles in this retro 2000s-inspired nightmare where the truth is more terrifying than the monsters.

A love letter to Cry of Fear, Silent Hill and Resident Evil. Combat is a bit janky but alright. Atmosphere is top notch. Gameplay is pure survial horror with a bit of Condemned combat and few weapons. Loved every second of it.
A long overdue review. I started this game when it released back in May but life got busy and I put a lot of games away until now. I was able to finish this game and I am very pleased with how it all turned out. These devs always put out good work and this one definitely stands out as being one of my more favorite games from them. I appreciated the...
