the game is very short, sweet, sincere and simple. Simple to a small fault as it's very much a "babies first" type of horror. It takes a lot from Survival horror but takes away the comabt for stealth. I'm not a fan of stealth in horror but the game understands how tedious and annyoing it can be so i tmakes it mercyfully short and simple. It's story had a twist that got me to play, that twist being a second "epsiode"…

Hopefully, Cozy Game Pals expands and makes more games because this one was great! Blumhouse should continue publishing games like this as well. Everyone involved nailed the aesthetic of a retro PSOne game. Compelling story and lovable characters.

i liked this game, yet at same time, it felt like there was something missing. playing in small bursts felt like the best way to go, and the story was compelling! i'm really glad i didn't skip the second chapter. i itched for more a few days after i beat the game completely. now that it's been some time, i don't know if i would recommend it wholeheartedly as it did not stick with me any longer since then.
