Whatever my game partner said: *something very positive*

Pretty fun co-op puzzle game that acts as a demo to see if you would enjoy the series. Get it with a friend and try it out

Partner and I were able to finish the game and 100% in some time over 2 hours, we both played both sides and it was a nice experiments. We got spooked by 1) the creatures in the maze and 2) the marionette but honestly,,, not too bad, it was more unexpected than actually scary lol. It was good fun and a satisfying game to complete. Absolutely no questions asked, get that free game, we already planning on playing the other parts in the series in a few days. Though I do have to say that the in-game voice-chat was a bit buggy/uncomfortable to use. We switched to a discord VC rather quickly because we both kept forgetting to press V so that the walky-talkies would work or them simply cutting off and the other person not hearing anything.

There is a teased 'good ending' to get both players out, which heavily implies there is a way to get both players out. there is not.

You and a friend are explorers who have stumbled upon a castle in the snow. One of you explores the castle while the other guides them by deciphering clues in a library. The two of you can only communicate via walkie talkies that you find at the start of the game which creates some fun immersion. There are some scary elements like shadowy figures that follow you and creepy sound effects but it's not that bad. This game is very fun to play with a friend but you will both have to purchase the game. I recommend playing in different rooms, or at least so that you aren't able to see each others' screens. I ran into some bugs, especially when it comes to audio, and once had to quit and re-enter the game because of a bug that blocked progress. Overall the game isn't too difficult and the co-op shouldn't lead to much frustration as long as both players communicate well and make an effort. It was fun to play the game a second time, swapping roles with the other player and trying to unlock all achievements. You can 100% this game in a few hours (I did it in 3).

Good puzzles, was hard and the replayability is great

I personally didn't really enjoy this as a game. The puzzles are too easy to feel good about solving. Or time-consuming just for the sake of it (looking at you, gate maze >.> It wasn't so much a puzzle as just going from one end of the map to the next, and back again). Also, devs don't really seems to care about it. It's been like 8 years, and there's a bunch of really obvious, easily reproducible bugs. But they make 4 more games before fixing this one :.) Bruh, we couldn't even finish the game cuz of a nasty bug in Chess lol! Idk, pretty mid
