When my friend recommended this game, I wasn't expecting to play an action story-rich first-person shooter mystery puzzle platformer horror. This rare game somehow covers almost every type of genre, which might not be the best choice. Cool parkour sections, okay action, an intriguing story, simple yet clever puzzles, and a few spooky moments create a very atmospheric experience. But the main attraction of this game is the innovative gameplay and engaging game mechanics I haven't really seen elsewhere. I also have to mention the banger soundtrack made by The Living Tombstone. The story also kept me on the edge of my seat all the way through. It covered a lot of hard topics that overlapped between detective-case-like levels. Unfortunately, there are a few things to critique. The game felt longer compared to how fast time passes playing other games. Also, trying to cover all genres of gaming in hopes that one of them will stick with the player creates confusion about what this game is actually trying to be. Thus making the important point it's trying to make somewhat obscure. Despite this, I find it truly amazing that only a few people have worked on this game, and I have to say it came out great! I'm not saying this game is perfect. But for what it's worth, there's a lot to unpack from this indie gem, and I quite enjoyed playing it.
Great psychological horror indie game with a strong story-line, extremely well produced soundtrack, memorable tense moments and enjoyable combat mechanics. The first half of the game is very reminiscent of old school survival horror while the second half is more like a psychological thriller. Each level (six in total) are very different from one another and features a terrifying spirit that you must tame. The creature designs are creepy with one in particular being very unique in its ability as it chases you. The puzzle elements are tricky but never difficult if you take your time to look and listen carefully as the solutions are usually next to you either within a note or in a reflection. The only negative is having no in-game map system but instead having an useless pre-placed map at certain locations. The game can be beaten within 10 to 15 hours depending if you are going for all the hidden collectibles. Very enjoyable experience and looking forward to the sequel. [8.5/10]
