I bought this almost one year ago in July. I wasn't able to play it properly due to the severe bugs that are within the game. I even tried to get a refund, but was also unable to do that. So, I decided I'd wait a while and let the game devs try to fix it or whatever needed happen. Now, on Feb. 22, 2019, the game still has the exact same problems and bugs as last time. The killer(s) still just follows you and only moves when you move. Also, the map is very empty, however, this does (in my opinion) add to a spooky atmosphere. I just hope that this game gets the treatment that it deserves. Until then, I must say DO NOT BUY THIS GAME!

Fun game. Good use of horror elements and decent graphics had me jumping outta my chair a few times haha. Pretty solid overall, though a little rough around the edges. The latter is to be expected as this is early access, and this small indie teams first title.
Overall Im rather impressed despite the rough edges. Inexpensive, good use of horror elemements and nice graphics make this a win for me.

This game makes you wonder, "On what day did God create Moonware Games and couldn't he have rested on that day as well?" It sucks so much that you have to ask yourself, "How much more sucky could this get?" and the answer is, "None, none more sucky." The sequel to this game should be named, "Sucky McSuckelstein."

I don't typically do reviews but this game was so awful I felt I better spare someone else the pain. The first day I bought it yesterday when you loaded up the game at the menu screen the sound was blaring load with no option to change sound. I had to change my sound through Windows Sound Mixer. From there I did what you would think and hit "New Game" when you would hit this the game would sit still and then play random rap audio and no I'm not joking random rap audio. I thought I had my spotify open and it was not. That was all in day 1 now in day 2 which is today I felt I'll give it another shot hopefully they fixed some things. They did not fix the issue where you should be able to change audio but they did get rid of the random rap audio. I was able to hit "New Game" and actually get into a game but the interactions with the keys and the key bindings are terrible. Half the time you can't pick up anything I tried to go back into the key bindings but the esc options menu is bugged out when you are in game and try to go into the key bindings and click on options it actually just closes out the game. Which now that I think about it maybe it should stay that way so it will spare you some time. The game is absolute trash and should have never been able to be on Steams platform with it's current state. Takes you less than 20 minutes to find all of these terrible unplayable bugs.

After not being able to review this game on its launch day here on Steam (May 31, 2018) because the game failed to even launch from the main menu, the developers sent a 1.5 GB patch through today..
And I was finally able to at least play the game.
After playing this game, I have to be brutally honest and say that I liked this game much better last night when the game got stuck forever on the main menu screen.
Now, with the game launching, this game made my infamous "M.I.S.S. Series" and gameplay can be viewed HERE:

This game is nothing but a terrible Unreal asset patched together mess and would be a complete rip off at 99 cents, and is nothing but cancer at its current $9.99 price tag. This game somehow scored a 3% (out of 100) using my scoring, but trust me when I say it doesn't deserve that high of a score.
NOT RECOMMENDED! Burn your money with a match instead as it would be a much better way to destroy it over giving it to these shady, scam artist developers for this pile of utter garbage money grab game.
