Atmosphere 10/10 Gameplay 10/10 Overall 10/10 Only complaint is that there ISN'T more.I first discovered The Cabin Factory at its release through the YouTuber HandOfBlood, and I must have recommended it to at least…Every cabin starts as a cozy, liminal trap—wood paneling, flickering lights, the faint smell of pine and something metallic.[i] I expected a predictable psychological horror.Why it fits
