Loved the game! Creepy little detective story. A bit short for the price, took about four hours and I always read everything and explore thoroughly.
This is a great, quick game. Can be completed in an afternoon. The story and mystery are really well-written, and it's just the right amount of spooky without many jump scares.
Besser als erwartet!

Luved this game. Held my interest from start to awesome end. I used a controller to start but found using mouse was much easier & quicker. Such a great game! will definitely buy the sequel. Highly recommend!!
画面は四角の小さめで、やりにくかったのですが、返金されなかったのでこのやろーやってやるぜっとなり頑張ってやりました。結果、なんとかクリアしました実績も全部取れたので満足です。このゲームは、たまに敵に遭遇しますが間違った選択をすると死亡します。正しい選択をすると先に進めるので3~4くらいの選択がありますが全部試すのも良いでしょう。ここからネタバレになりますが、あとCのエンディングはいったん消すか最初から鍵を取って出口を何度もクリックすると取れます。あとはラストを何度も出来るので実績は全て取れるようになってます。英語は、マイクロソフトのウィンドウズ翻訳アプリを使うと良いでしょう
Ce n'est pas une mauvaise expérience, mais elle est plutôt oubliable. Le genre de jeu qu'on ne fait qu'une seule fois, avant de passer à autre chose. Pas de traduction française et même avec une bonne compréhension de l'anglais, la narration reste confuse. Le jeu parvient tout de même à avoir quelques bons moments, et l'horreur ne repose pas sur du jumpscare mais plutôt sur son ambiance et quelques rencontres inattendues avec l'antagoniste. Durée de vie courte, environ 3h donc à prendre en soldes.
If ever a game was deserving of the word "Meh". Seriously! And for its full price, it's not worth it in my opinion. Buy it when it's on super sale. Like a dollar or less.
Nice little gem. Maybe it's a bit old, especially with that strange control scheme (don't forget to press stick to activate your controllers), but it's great in VR. Story was interesting enough to get all endings and few jumpscares added spice to the atmosphere
Really love this game. I've played it quite a few times at this point, my most recent run being in preparation for playing Dead Secret Circle at last. I love the story, the dialogue, the characterization and development. I think the only thing I have to complain about is just the issue with the safe. I know plenty of other people have already talked about it, already mentioned how annoying and genuinely gamebreaking it is, but I'm adding my voice to that. I think if I were working with a star-based system, 1 to 5 stars, I'd have to take away a star for that alone. You might think well, you've played this game so many times, surely you don't mess up and bug the safe and then have to close the game and reopen it...right? :) Well you see lmao... The thing is... With that said, I still do love this game and that is my one and only complaint, so... 4 stars! I've never grown bored or tired of playing it, and that makes me very excited and hopeful for my experience with DSC! Just...please...no safes...or if there is a safe, please let it not have inherited that infernal bug...
It's not really that I outright dislike the game, but I still wouldn't recommend it to many. It's mostly serviceable and I can see the broad strokes that the writing is going for, but the narrative gets a bit stilted and it just doesn't land for me with its finer details. I'm not above suspending some disbelief as I immerse myself into a story, but I couldn't stay in as much as I'd have liked with a couple of its comical leaps. So with the main aspect of the game being "meh," the only things left to try and interest me was the gathering and reading of notes, which are hampered by the aforementioned disinterest in the narrative, and a handful of decent puzzles strewn across a little farm house. If you're hard up for any murder mystery, it's far from the worst, but I have a hard time imagining that $15 for this is competitive to a lot out there even for the time.
