Steam review snapshots
Strange, weird, complicated and a little bit confusing.If anything it kinda has vibes that skew a bit closer to mystery?But maybe that's to lean into the "Slasher Killer Picking Off Everyone" vibe?That and the replay value of trying to get everyone's specific endings as well as the hilariously chaotic ones that may or…Why it fits
Check it if you want adventure, casual filtered by single-player.
