An average steam horror game, certainly not worth anywhere near full price (>7 euro in Ireland). There's just over an hour and a half of gameplay here, and while the atmosphere created at times is pretty good and creepy, and there are a couple of effective jumpscares, overall the game falls flat, with poor writing and a predictable ending. It's certainly not the worst horror game on steam by a long stretch, but that doesn't mean it's worth your time or money.
It's alright. The game does have pretty nice graphics, sound design and ambiance going for it, but I do have some complaints: -The gam crashed both when I started a new game for the first time, and when I reached the final cutscene -The flashing effects are neither scary nor immersive, just plain uncomfortable to sit through -The puzzles could have been more challenging -The ending was cheesier than a fondue It's basically a spiritual successor to Silent Hill PT, but written with zero subtlety (since literally everything about the story is explained to you). Still, it's worth getting on sale. At least I had a good spook at the beginning and a good chuckle at the end.
Much like The Initiate, I really enjoyed this. Overall, I thought this was a great P.T. inspired game. Wandering through the ever-changing hallways never seems to get boring, as there's either a variety of things to put you on edge, or several puzzles to solve en-route to your final destination. Sound is fairly good, with a few noises that'll make your heart sink a bit, while the game looks great (and doesn't seem to suffer with FPS drops like The Initiate once had). The story is servicable, but can be mostly ignored if you're just looking for the scares. Be aware that there's actually multiple endings to this game depending on the choices you make. Once you hit the credits screen, try a different path instead. To go through everything you will probably play this for somewhere between 1-3 hours. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFyY71L-Ng0
PT clone with clumsy controls and a story we've seen a thousand times already. Graphics and sound are good and sets the vibe perfectly. Jump scares are scarce and effective. There are a few small logical puzzles as well. These are all quite easy.. just like the entire game. Most of the time, it's: walk in, read letter, walk out, with the occasional object interaction to open the door to the next level. UI issues: Make sure to unplug ALL your controllers, joysticks, steering wheels and what not. There's no input selection setting and it seems the game responds to every connected device. Opening doors is done by walking into them and there's no UI indication when you can interact with anything. There's also subtitles option.. which doesn't do a thing. Not really important though, since there's hardly anything worth listening to. In the end, there's enough diversity and little things that keep the levels fresh, so thumbs up for being a cool PT clone even considering the issues mentioned above. Final verdict: just above 'meh'.
Great game overall, some nice jump scares and a great creepy atmosphere, if you played the PT demo then you'll see familiarity with this. The puzzles were pretty straightforward, some with some obvious answers that got past me at first but they were still enjoyable, more so due to the atmosphere of the game. You really do have to search around for 'changes'. Honestly, I could have looped through "different" rooms for hours! Graphically the game looks great until you're close to the end of the game and the walls start turning red. I feel that perhaps there are a lot of placeholder textures at this point. While the game still has more content to come, I'm hoping that if I have to start from the beginning that some things would have changed so that I'm not expecting it, though chances are I'll probably have forgotten certain things. My full playthrough: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yz0beoi89wA The ending left me confused, check here if you think you're at the end as you likely are: The ending leaves you in a red low textured room with no indication that this is it, I had to search for other peoples playthroughs to confirm that I wasn't about to prematurely quit the game. This was a fantastic game to stream and my viewers really enjoyed it. http://www.twitch.tv/toejahm
Well i've only purchased the game today and instantly started playing and filming it. I can say that so far i think it's a really nice game with some really good jump scares and creepy atmosphere. I'm playing it on 1440p and it runs really really smooth as you will see in my review on YT.. Link below. I have decided to upload the review in multiple episodes releasing one each day till the end as it makes it easier for people who seek help in solving puzzles as well. Episode one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYEv-us8p0k Episode two: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bX5aFaG3odA&t=83s Once i have fully finished it i will update my review.
That ending lmao Pretty shameless PT clone but it's not the worst I've played. Game froze a couple times and had some small issues but overall i got 100 minutes of streamtime out of it and some ok jumpscares/laughs.
This game runs more like a FTP game rather than a paid product. Bad controls, crashes and bugs galore and an uninteresting and predictable story and layout. This game is basically an attempt to copy PT without doing anything right. The small puzzles in this game are more of a nuisance than a challenge and I was only slightly creeped out once in this game... ONCE?! IN A BLOODY HORROR GAME?!?! Look elsewhere for a horror game...
I just wanna say, this game isn't going to be everyone's cup of tea. It definitely wasn't mine. This game was obviously heavily inspired by P.T., and it delivers well on that premise. It's beautiful and well crafted. At least at the beginning. The later levels feel uninspired and rushed. The sounds in a lot of places are incredibly low quality. What atmosphere the game has early on is quickly lost to the myriad of pixel-hunting puzzles. The story is pretty generic and unoriginal, with an ending you see coming from a long way off. Honestly, if this game were $5, I might suggest giving it a shot if you like games like P.T., but $10 is a little too much to ask for. P.S. I really want to say that I appreciate the amount of work that has been put into this game though. It looks like it was developed by one or two people, and for that they deserve to be lauded!
Decent horror game. (See what I did there?) Atmosphere is good, story is nothing special but ok. Game gets a bit repetetive after some time, also it is very short, took me 80 minutes to finish it. At the last level I had some graphical bugs and the game freezed so I had to restart the game. Whait for a sale to get it.
so it started out ok but then it got annoying. mind you i do like walk thru / point and click games but this game got boring quick. ok as i continue playing the game i was getting to the puzzle and they werent hard which was ok with me. but theres a part in the game where u switch from the "real" world to hell; which i didnt like that u used a siren to switch world like they do in SILENT HILL. but as your switch over u get this blood all over the screen and then once you switch over the blood clears from the screen, well i was at part 40 i believe and the screen didnt clear and at the time i thought it was part of the game but it actually wasnt cuz i could barely see. so i thought this cant be part of the game so i reloaded the game. once i reloaded the game the blood on the screen cleared. in my mind i was like REALLY! then once i got futher in the game it started freezing up and crashed and so again i reloaded the game but this it froze again. NOPE! this game wasted 2 hours of my life. i dont want to reload this game if its going to crash/freeze. my question where did the mostly positive review come from. no thank you. keep your money and spend it on another game
A walking sim with some very light puzzles that doesn't overstay its welcome. It's about as close as you are going to get to the much ballyhooed "spiritual successor to P.T." Sidenote: I'm usually not the person to say a game costing $X should provide X hours of gameplay but $10 for a 2 hour game seems grotesque to me. Wait for a sale and enjoy pee'ing your pants in fright.
This game has a very unsettling atmosphere, the story is thought out well and as I'm currently only upto completed chapter 8 I'm really looking forward to the rest, the game has good placed jump scares and a strong PT vibe that makes it an amazing game, would love some dlc as when game is completed I don't want to have to uninstall as there's no replayability factor. 8/10
Actually a pretty nice Horror game. Graphics are decent, atmosphere/sound is good, and its not filled with Jumpscares, tho you will encounter a few. Puzzles are good aswell. The Gameplay is PT inspired, so you will walk through the same hallways with a few changes to them over and over, but as mentioned I think this is worth it for the price. Check out some gameplay https://youtu.be/-I8fNxiQ6WI
Yes, it's a P.T./Silent Hill rip-off in the most blatant of ways; but it's an alarmingly good and extremely scary P.T./Silent Hill rip-off that handles the repetitive/deja vu-ish motif with absolute aplomb. I'm honestly not going to say much more than that, beyond opining that the price is perfectly reasonable and the game well worth the time of any horror fans who aren't averse to lots of "walking" and a bit of (relatively simple, yet clever) puzzle-solving. (And a wee bit of "running" as well.) A long, long way from all those cheap-'n'-nasty indie horror games we've come to expect on Steam of late, even if the level design feels a tad rushed towards the end. Oh, and one quick tip: a few reviewers have noted that the game kept crashing for them right at the very end. I simply exited, lowered my settings slightly, and replayed a single minute of gameplay to get back up to that point. No biggie, though it is a bit of a shame that the game suffers from such a significant technical glitch in its final moments. Verdict: 8.5/10.

Really neat PT clone, I loved all the subtle nods to Silent Hill. The siren was fantastic, filling me with that well known dread everytime I'd hear it in SH. I also loved the loosely borrowed Needler enemy, one of SH's scarier monsters. I really do feel like this whole game was heavily inspired by Silent Hill, and that was just fine with me. If PT had been created to be it's own actual game, I think it would have resembled something like this and I really enjoyed myself. That being said, it was a little glitchy, and I needed to reload the chapter a few times in some areas to get the game to allow me to proceed. That became frustrating very quick. Story was honestly quite predictable, but still well done. You cannot play without subtitles as the voice really was just overall garbled and really hard to understand. Either way, I enjoyed myself, really. A solid 8/10.
It's a fun and good little game, but if this game goes on sale for $5 or under, I would say pick it up, luckily I got it on sale. It's not a bad game, just a little short, but it's a game that you will spend time on really focusing on things and trying to figure out the puzzles. If you don't want to play it but would like to watch a walkthrough of it, check out the link below of myself doing a playthrough of the game. I had no idea that this game was going to be like PT, so once I saw it was, I was tripping balls haha. (PT scarred me for life.) Thank you and enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwfJiiNgRCs
I definitely got some good scares out this, and the gameplay, compared to other games I've played in the same price range, was worth it. VERY PT inspried. I think I've gotten as far as you can get in the game, and I'd recommend it. Pros: -Atmosphere is unsettling -Jumpscares are well-executed -Puzzles are not too complicated -Graphics look nice Cons (more of suggestions): -I didn't find the monsters scary after the initial exposure to them, and didn't like once they attack and chase you, you're essentially immune to them. Maybe have them kill you and put you back at the beginning of the room? -The red covered screen at the end was more annoying than anything. It was very tough to see where I was going. Overall, well done, and no crashes. I look forward to the finished product. Gameplay below if interested: https://youtu.be/Xk2mEWNg9Jg
For what I paid (not much) I feel like it was a decent game. A bit tedious, not my favorite game from Deceptive games but something to do for a couple hours.
I enjoyed this game, yes it gets bad reviews because its very much like P.T but this is done really well, if you liked P.T you will love this, some very creepy bits in with excellent music and very good framerate, graphics are quite good too, not quite P.T but a very good crack at it - 8/10 :-)
