Steam review snapshots
*wink wink* Jokes aside, I think it's fantastic what they've done, and I hope they keep doing it, because if it wasn't…Both the artwork and the little jumpscares left a very terrifying and surreal atmosphere while playing.It would be better to have a drawing of where you found the codes, instead of numbers that can be confusing at…The gameplay is essentially a mix of click-based adventure and deduction.Why it fits
Check it if you want casual, horror filtered by dark, tense, weird.
