Not worth your time. There are a lot better titles out there.

D.i.t.F. is walking sim kind of horror. I decided to try it on Steam Deck while voice-over it, and unfortunately, it's a game I cannot recommend. Nothing seriously wrong with it despite some poorly translated notes which leave to an extremely confusing gameplay; luckily, the game is also short, which is a blessing.
A pro in it's favour is the fact that it runs perfectly on Steam Deck, albeit it's lack of graphical settings.

Not worth 4 bucks in English anyways, the story is extremely hard to understand and the game seems to end on a never ending black screen. It has some decent jump scares, but that's it some of the visuals are just goofy especially the woman in the toilet. I was pretty borderline on whether to recommend it or not, but for 3.99 I don't think it's worth it as it is at the time of the review.

Avoid.
The description got something right - the dead certainly can confuse. As this makes no sense whatsoever. There's some random jump scares scattered within, and a few unoriginal puzzles. And then 15 minutes later the game is over. And then the game bugged out and let me keep playing even after the "ending".
Even on sale this is not worth your money.

Unfortunately, I'm having to leave a bad review. The game has so much potential, with lots of jump scares, but once you get to the man at the end of the hall, it glitches and the screen goes black. Being a full time streamer, my community was very disappointed to say the least. For that reason i can't leave a good review.

Game play takes maybe 30 mins, but this game definitely got me with scares. I do not scare easy and this kept me on my toes. Loved the story although it could you a little better translations.

I've played longer free demos than this game (20 minutes for a full play through) but it had good enough visuals and I would like to see more from the developer if they improve upon this game so I am giving it the thumbs up.

I'll be honest. It needs some work.
The spooks are there! I got scared countless times. The atmosphere was eerie and it made me on my toes most the game.
BUT, it doesn't really have a direction as in where to go story-wise. Like after I discover a note or a room, I'm wondering to see if I might trigger something since I didn't do something in the order the game wanted me to do. But if, I feel, the game made it more apparent in which order it wanted me to discover things in (maybe more highlighted items, and then de-highlighting them when not needed) or stuff like that, I would have enjoyed the game more.
The game was a mixed review for me. But what unbalanced to a thumbs down was the annoying wondering.
