Steam review snapshots
I am still confusing about the key to locked door which not yet discovered.This is an issue because the game is prone to crashing if you try to speedrun it in order to earn one…The atmosphere mixed with the loops really lends itself to the horror genre.Cherophobia is a short, psychological horror experience that blends walking exploration with interactive dialogue to create something more thoughtful than many retro-style…Why it fits
Check it if you want adventure, horror filtered by dark, tense, weird.
