Literally could not progress due to being blocked in from invisible walls that bugged in the middle of a hallway. This locked me in jail and would have to restart. It's typical collect stuff to progress. Find random lockpicks (100 just sitting in this house of a murder scene after lengthly investigations by law enforcement?) they are just randomly just there, then get fuses which magically spawn. Not much creativity. Otherwise is a massive asset flip game that still had the asset name on the top door of the first stairs. Seems like this was never tested, nothing but a patch job.
This game is a real scary experience that keeps you on the edge of your seat. The atmospheric horror and intricate storytelling truly stands out. With the new updates, the game has become even more polished. If you’re into horror games, you’ve gotta try this one.

OMG!! I really appreciate this game! The atmosphere, the jumpscares, and the puzzles! I just got to chapter 3 and can't wait to finish!
I wanted to give this game a thumbs up because in the first 20 minutes or so it had a really good atmosphere. All that was ruined for me when I got to the basement part where you need to find a marble ball. This female ghost pops up and if you don't hide in the locker or somewhere for the exact right time, it's instant death, After three attempts I gave up and uninstalled the game. If you like stealth games, maybe give it a try. But if you're looking for a good horror walking sim like I did, avoid. I also encountered some annoying bugs that get you stuck on boxes or in halls when you're walking, but I could have lived with that.
Bon jeu d'horreur psychlogique, très bon jumpscares. Gameplay FR : https://youtu.be/FzS8iMQCiSI?si=pg8PGTAYmPPgAXfU
O jogo é curto, mas definitivamente vale o preço.

Game has some bugs. The jump scares are great. Was good game for Halloween night.
El juego esta muy bueno para las personas que quieran empezar/meterse en los juegos de horror/terror psicológico. Juego corto y divertido con una historia decente. No es el mejor juego de terror pero si te saca unos sustos 👻 si valió la compra. Graficos y sonidos decentes. 7.5/10 👍 El juego completo por si gustan ver algo de gameplay 😃: https://youtu.be/aWApYUjCW50?si=VmwtE4-g-Gc7_hkw
solid indie horror title w. good atmosphere and jumpscares, but pretty generic. its worth the price imo 8/10
