Steam review snapshots
+ The soundtrack is amazing + All dialogues are with voice acting + Great artwork + Nice setting + Overall very atmospheric…Quick note, I played (and finished the game twice) with the keyboard/mouse but there's also controller support.The game does run well on an ultra wide screen and I have experienced no crashes.I think I may write a walkthrough after one more run, still haven't gotten all the awards.Why it fits
