[h1][b]Audio:[/b][/h1] The music gives off a vibe of mystery and wonder, which makes the horror all the more horrifying when it hits.Once you adjust or change the controls to your liking, you'll find yourself with a smooth experience of exploration and dread.+ UI: Fans of Ultima or other select RPGs/MMOs will enjoy having a small bag with inventory management, and other nice touches.Movement: With no queuing, I wish moving to the next tile/turning was a bit more responsive.Why it fits
