About the game

    Okay... so where to begin? I guess it's best to keep this brief. I'm in agreement with the other reviews in several respects. 1. There is a good concept here. 2. Execution in some areas is quite good. 3. I have no idea why it's been received as positively as it has. Here's the issue: This game has good bones. There's a legitimate need for good quality horror that doesn't rely on jumpscares, and humor in horror games…

    Imagine a game with 14 chapters, and in every chapter, the jokes look like: c==3 ----> C=====3 Yeah, and it would be 'the skin stapler' if u can handle it for 3+ hours, then u obviously have superpowers or just negative IQ. Idk, it`s ur call Alternatively, if u want to save time and money, just look at the first line of this review and congrats, u`ve already played the demo .
