Best for players who want strong atmosphere, exploration, narrative adventure, and replayable.

strong-atmosphere

Tone

The mood, place, and presentation carry a lot of the experience.

exploration

Play style

The draw is moving through spaces, discovering details, and learning the world.

narrative-adventure

Play style

The experience is more story-and-place driven than systems-heavy.

replayable

Fit

The structure gives reasons to return rather than finish once.

controller-friendly

Fit

Controller, gamepad, or Steam Deck play comes up as a plus.

narrative-mystery

Play style

A useful part of the game is piecing together mystery and story threads.

Steam review snapshots

Being a paranormal investigator, you don't actually have much anything to investigate or solve, which is a shame.
Narrative Mystery
Even all the floors look rather similar, save for a few details, so exploration loses its appeal after a couple floors.

Strong Atmosphere
On gamepad the main menu controls are unconventional: with Xbox controller, the menu is navigated with 'Y','A','X' and 'B'.
