Compelling and profound story with a very relevant message. Dark. This is more like an atmosphere building playable story, so if you're expecting some kind of hack and slash game this is not it. Beautiful and original music. Great mystery and sensation of loneliness throughout. My complaints are very small; I do wish the game was a bit longer, and the game for some reason absolutely tears up my battery, which I'm not sure why because it seems like a mechanically simple game. Try it!

This game was really refreshing. Even though I played it later on after its release. It felt like a brand new experience. There were some really good scary/gory parts. And good monsters too, though being about three monsters. The puzzles were great too. I have Nothing bad to say about this game. I cant say much about the "psychological" parts, cause im dumb and dont understand most things. But anyways, just get the game. Its cheap and awesome.

It starts off good. Scary, and decent albeit easy puzzles. My other gripes in the beginning are it's easy to avoid enemies, there aren't enough of them, and the lack of enemy variety. After a certain point, the game just becomes an interactive movie with a few mostly weak puzzles thrown in. If you aren't into the story at this point, it's tedious. The story is, however, creatively and artistically expressed in many details. It's a good game if you enjoy stories over gameplay.
