Steam review snapshots
For people that explore areas its a short fun to see all things like cats, chickens and other stuff.You take photos of people and things around the village to find information and secrets about everything going on in the area.The atmosphere, espeically the busted and ugly graphics, was made to portray uneasiness and creepiness.Quite interesting with low budget short game.Why it fits
Check it if you want indie, horror filtered by dark, tense, single-player.
