Steam review snapshots

The atmosphere, on the whole, is really quite applaudable.
Strong Atmosphere
This is a pretty interesting short walking simulator/horror game used by the Unity Engine.
Narrative Adventure
This game may be buggy and have a lot of stuff it needs to improve in, but I still think its OK.
Buggy
And still around a solid 20-30 minutes of gameplay (Sometimes where you need to go takes a while to find.).
Slow Burn
