Steam review snapshots
Suspense and mystery, very quick, with a twist at the end, I liked it.The game has some good music once in a while, relaxed atmosphere.As you explore the island, with nothing but a flashlight in your hand, you’ll uncover the secrets of the Arque Corporation.Technically I didn't experience any bugs/crashes and all achievements popped.Why it fits
Check it if you want action, adventure filtered by relaxing, single-player.
