All you do is run around the house looking for items. Found the trash can? Great, now go find the bubble gum wrapper, then go find the clothespin. Only jumped a couple times, which is good for me because I hate jump scares, but even then they weren't even good jump scares. Then there is Max, the headless guy who speed-walks through the house, and will one shot you if he touches you. Glad I bought this on sale, because this game is barely worth the $1 I spent on it

Alrighty, so I actually found myself enjoying this a lot more than I had expected to! That's not to say the game doesn't have its flaws, but it also has challenge and good atmosphere. And mostly good gameplay.
Pros:
+ An entertaining challenge.
+ Good choice of music elevates atmosphere.
+ The single jumpscare in the game is good and randomized in a way that makes you never expect it.
+ Intuitive controls.
+ Good and simple autosave system.
+ No loading.
+ There is a very functional "stand completely still" gameplay mechanic for avoiding the ghost.
+ Interesting time skip/time lock mechanic.
Cons:
- English translation could do with some heavy editing.
- Sometimes you and/or the ghost is teleported around, seemingly for no reason.
- The ghost can be incredibly annoying at times.
- Some item spawn points are perhaps too hard to find.
- Dying is way too easy.
- The ending story bit could really need rewriting.
- Could do with some optimization.
All in all, I'd say this game is worth playing. I had to use a guide, but that guide wasn't complete, so I still had to figure out some things myself. (I've written comments in the guide with that info.)
100% in about 3 hours.

Aggravating. Max doesn't seem to follow the sleep schedule. Jump scares are great but get old quickly.

Have you ever seen the movie the 6th sense?
WELL IN THIS GAME YOU ALSO HELP OUT GHOSTS! There is one ghost who really needs your help, his name is MAX and he doesn't have a head. He needs you to find a lot of objects around his house.
**SPOILER ALERT***
you need to find his glasses, cup, fuse, socks, diet pills, pillow, deed to house, doors, wallet, ashtray, epipen, cufflinks, hitachi magic wand, rings, dirty magazines, fancy sthethascope, keys, prophylactics, meth tube, lesbians, pokemon cards, phone, anal cream, inhaler, can of olives, towels
+ MORE!!!!
10/10 would help that ghost again.

This game is pretty boring. It is an Item hunt, and believe me sometimes the damn items will be hard to spot.
That coupled with almost no story, except for a few notes. And some headless guy that will hunt you down and kill you in one hit so you get back to the previous checkpoint.
That is basically it, the optimization is poor. The map/house is small and you keep dying until you find the right item.

This game sucks. To summarize the game: this is only a fetch quest, you are in a little house and search for one item after another and the next item spawns only if you found the previous one, so every time you found an item, you basically have to scan the whole house again. And to make it even worse: there is a ghost hunting you, if he gets you, you are instantly dead and you spawn at the last check point. You get a check point every time you found an item. I probably died about 1000 times to this thing. (This is probably an exaggeration, but it felt like this.) Also the game is quite buggy and it has hardly any story.
I also almost abandon this game, because I looked for 45 minutes and couldn't find the first item! This means I almost needed half of my play time only for the first item. They are so small and sometimes really hard to find. Not recommended at all.

The graphics are good but not special. I did get jump scared more than once but after I knew what he was going to do it was not very scary anymore, I also looked every where for that photo album and NEVER found it, I died multiple times but that did not bother me.

A sort of horror meets hidden object adventure. You search a haunted house for items on a task list and try to get it all accomplished before the enemy AI 'Max' kills you.
I found it to be fun for the price. Spoops weren't great, but the tension of the ticking clock is there where you know you need to hurry.
If you're quick and lucky, you can knock this out in less than 30 minutes. For the price, it's not bad. Purchase at your own discretion, my darlings. <3

Apparently my Titan XP is not able to run this Game at 60 FPS at any given time
I never saw anything that came close to being a Ghost either
Even tho i bought it at -25% discount for 2,99€ i feel robbed
I won't refund tho , please go and sign up for a programming course somewhere
Have to drop that negative review tho since for that price i consider it a scam
