For the price this game is good! Some of the directions I felt were a little vague and there were some issues with invisible walls. But overall this game is good looking and pretty fun. Feel free to check out my game play below.

Great for a protoype! It's a little unpolished but I'm excited to see what the game turns into with more time. I think the price is very fair for this game. Really looking forward to what comes next!

I'm not the type of guy who gives a good, honest review but here it is:
This horror game provides backstories explained through notes, recorders, and flashbacks similar to Amnesia. When playing the game, it gives some explanations how the school drifted off, and the MC's motivations that lead them there. Since it's only Act 1, there is more potential to explain in another chapter/acts.
This game also have voice actors, and it felt genuine which means they played their role very well.
The enemy/monster is one of those generic chasers, however it does have a mechanic that makes him teleport infront of you without warning which is completely unfair and you have almost no chance of avoiding that. You can either use stealth (which is more effective since it doesn't use ears), or risk getting chased with its mechanic.
Now focusing more on the issues, this game suffers a syndrome of having invisible walls scattered in areas which breaks the immersion of the game. Letting the player know that door is locked instead of using invisible wall would've been better and placed in convenient areas.
There are objectives that uses puzzles where some might be too easy, some are very clever which makes experience fun.
This game also lacks Mouse & Keyboard settings (because it's currently locked) and the look sensitivity didn't give me a pleasant experience.
NOTE: This game only has Act 1 when this review was posted.
The game's price is fairly cheap for those who want a short horror game and I wish those indie developers improve and looking forward to see how this game wraps up.
