Steam review snapshots
We liked the addition of the optional hints on puzzles to keep things moving, and the use of chalk as an optional…We unfortunately did run into a game breaking bug when we died in a large room where we had to find parts…I liked the puzzles, the overall ambience and tone of the game were solid, and there were a handful of truly terrifying…As someone who loves backrooms and all creepy things – I liked it, but I'm glad I bought it with a discount…Why it fits
Check it if you want indie, horror filtered by dark, tense, puzzle.
