good game

So this game saved a bunch of notepad files on my desktop. Not a fan of that.

One of the creepiest games I've ever played. Would definitely recommend.

The game starts off slow with the need to sleep to get the phone mechanics in but the intrigue keeps ya goin. It has elements of survival games when it comes to the need to eat and horror (this is) staples when it comes to fear meters. Our job is to regain our memory somehow. I remain intrigued enough to see it through. Solid effort here. Sample gameplay: https://youtu.be/6CbDamqvZcw

About 6 hour long psychological horror game with several mechanics, inventory, healing items, etc. as well as several relatively simple puzzles. Voice over is in italian but there are english subtitles. Everything written is fully in english. I played through the whole thing, as I usually do with interesting new horror games, and you're welcome to check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JoBr4FGezSk

I really enjoy playing games by this single Dev...very creative and fun games. And i do not agree with the negative reviews at all. This game is a PC horror game that centers around a mysterious, unsettling telephone used to navigate through a series of cryptic and often disturbing environments with an intriguing concept, and some jump scares. The story is very mysterious and will keep you in suspense the whole game. And the atmosphere and sound design are well done. I have not completed the game but am 7.0 hours in....WELL DONE Dev!

You know those reviews that say they cannot understand negative reviews? Well this is one of them! This game was completely atmospheric. It starts out in a room with a phone, then expands endlessly from there! The locations get more interesting as you go. Things change, that's all I'll say without ruining it. Sure it take a while to get into the groove, but once you do, it's pretty awesome. Scary at times, but never too much. A few good jump scares and the sound effects are completely beyond excellent!! If I had to complain, it would be that the sleep feature doesn't really work, there's a good bit of back-tracking (but many things change). It's a big area and navigation can get a bit confusing at times. If you miss a dialog, you might not always know what to do next as the TASK system doesn't always tell you, even though it's supposed to. There are many cool puzzles everywhere as well. The in-game movie clips are creepy and cool. Overall I absolutely loved the game. Sure it's not perfect, but it's incredibly atmospheric, mysterious and creepy but with a very good story. Try it and give it a chance!! BRAVO!!!

Daniele knocked it out of the park again! Sound design, the different settings, overall feel of dread anytime you aren't in a lit area, and also while have some minimal defense mechanisms! Puzzles were similar to that of Lost Alone where collecting pieces, getting them to the right spot, then resolving the puzzle to move forward is a welcome return and shows evolution in the puzzle types/designs. The jumpscares still play out usually in a sudden/loud/some say "cheap" way, but if you enjoy being scared in games, then you will appreciate them. I think the only thing I didn't enjoy was the steam leaking out of pipes portion of the sewer. Seemed I would be well past the steam and still take damage on occasion. Frustrating, but not game breaking and also not a very long portion at all.

its not worth 15usd, jumpscares are so bad, the graphics are medicore at best, the game involve lots of revisiting the same places again and again, the puzzles are bad... maybe at 5 usd its worth it
