Steam review snapshots

Though it's not as deeply psychological as say, Layers of Fear, this game still has its moments.
Psychological Themes
Though it's not as deeply psychological as say, Layers of Fear, this game still has its moments.
Psychological Horror
The campaign lasts about an hour and a half, and there's not a whole lot of room for replayability, but that's still…
Replayable
The first interesting aspect here is that your character will re-visit the lower floor of the house several times before moving either…
