I am not even kind of done with this game yet but I just had to write a review. This. Is. Amazing. One of the best horror games Ive played so far and im not even finished with it. The atmosphere is incredible. The jump scares are fantastic. The game play is easy and to the point. The puzzles are awesome. 10/10 for this game. I would have paid more money for it.

I cannot recommend this game even tho i…
