Steam review snapshots
The atmosphere, on the whole, is really quite applaudable.This is a pretty interesting short walking simulator/horror game used by the Unity Engine.This game may be buggy and have a lot of stuff it needs to improve in, but I still think its OK.And still around a solid 20-30 minutes of gameplay (Sometimes where you need to go takes a while to find.).Why it fits
Check it if you want adventure, horror filtered by dark, tense, single-player.
