This game is a walking simulator with horror elements where you are trying to escape a simulation.Oh- oh no- an EMOTIONAL walking simulator.The narrator does a good job of building atmosphere in the game.even thought it is advertised as a walking sim, this game is more of a psychological horror, no cheap jumpscares or blood…Why it fits
