Steam review snapshots
At first, the controls felt awkward, but I appreciated the early 2000s vibe.+ Fun retro game aesthetic of movies from the 1970s / 1980s era + The mansion is well designed and fun to…Playing with a controller really helps as opposed to playing with the keyboard.Its prologue gives a misleading impression of what the remainder of Sarah’s investigation will play like.Why it fits
