I really liked this game. It wasn't jump scare horror more like psychological horror and mystery with a nice creepy atmosphere. It for sure had it's rough spots but it is early access so that's to be expected but it did make me look forward to the full release. If you want to see some game play you can check out my play through above but I do think this is a game worth trying out.

The game offers more than expected considering it is an early access from a startup studio. The house looks realistic, lighting is just spot on and so is the overall experience for this type of game. There are some little bugs here and there but overall totally worth the money. I hope the story will get developed further.

I really enjoyed this game. Instead of relying on jump scares, it delivers psychological horror and mystery with a wonderfully creepy atmosphere. While it has some rough spots, that’s expected in early access, and it made me excited for the full release. If you're into unsettling, atmospheric horror, this is definitely worth checking out!

Jokes aside the game has good potential. Its obviously still in its very early stages of development. I mean, the optimization is very bad, and they probably havent implemented the horror elemments yet, but its an unfinished product. When you purchase an early access game, ofc its not going to be finished. You are buying it with full awareness that it wont offer you the full experience that you would hope for. Thats why i'd like to give the devs some time and see the full game.
I may be biased towards psychological horror games, but i actually have good expectations for this one. The audio gives you the occasional creeps, the hallways give you that uneasy feeling that you are not alone, every door that you open could potetially reveal something on the other side. Its by no means perfect and its definitely nowhere near finished, but it doesnt remove from the fact that the devs are doing their job as best they can.

Game plays awful, the controls are wonky and not stated outright. When I started the game I sat in a dark room for 10 minutes because I thought it was some kind of puzzle but it was actually because the game didn't tell me to hit enter to "wake up". After that I wandered around the dark house for another 5 minutes got stuck in a dark bathroom and restarted the game, only for it to now tell me to hit "J" to turn on my flashlight.

This game is an absolute scam, do NOT buy it. The reviews that are on this game are absolutely either paid for or fake. This game has only around 15 minutes of gameplay in it and it has an achievement that they want you to stay in the game for 2 hours more than likely so you cannot refund it.
The game has absolutely no substance whatsoever and is a complete joke. Do not under any circumstances purchase this pile of garbage.
