Interesting game, it is one of those short and sweet kind of experiences. A gem for any horror fans.

Great short walking sim, the atmosphere and ambiance is amazing, art direction is strong, story kept a strong mystery until the end reveal, couldve included some puzzles but for a movie's length of gameplay it works the way it is.

An extremely atmospheric and cool horror game. Great themes and vibe. Less of an action horror and more of a chill horror game to vibe to. If you want something with similar vibes but more action based you can check out the creators newer work Hollow Body. Both games are great.

I liked this game. It was a bit on the short side but had an eerie vibe and was a very engaging psychological horror story.

Interesting short scifi/horror game, which is all about exploration and atmosphere. You can finish it it one weekend, but it's a good premise, you use a sort of radio to tap into the unknown world around you, and try to figure out what's going on. I think if you can get it on sale, it's worth it.
