❤ Gameplay Mechanics and Pacing

The game features a slow-paced "walking simulator" style of exploration, where players move at a deliberately sluggish pace through the game environment. While this can be frustrating at times due to the amount of backtracking required, reviewers note that the slow movement contributes to an unsettling and unsure feeling that permeates the gameplay.

❤ Jump Scares and Tension

One of the game's primary strengths is its effective use of jump scares to startle and frighten players. Reviewers praise the sudden appearances of monsters and other threats, stating that they were genuinely surprised and startled by these events. The game maintains a constant sense of tension and unease as players navigate the environment, never knowing when the next scare will occur.

❤ Exploration and Environmental Storytelling

While jump scares are the focus, the game also provides an element of exploration and environmental storytelling. Players must thoroughly investigate their surroundings to uncover the narrative, as the relatively small game world is designed to encourage thorough investigation. Reviewers report that piecing together the story through these environmental cues is a rewarding aspect of the experience.

❤ Progress and Replayability

The main campaign is relatively short, with most players completing it in around 45-60 minutes. Some reviewers express disappointment with the brevity of the experience, wishing for a longer and more fleshed-out adventure. However, the inclusion of a "Halloween Mode" DLC is seen as a positive addition, providing additional content and replayability for those who enjoyed the core experience.
