Really tense and creepy atmosphere. The lack of music makes the atmosphere much more unsettling.
However, it seemed to focus more on fake-out scares than actual scares. And the dialogue and text were sometimes hard to comprehend because of the way it was translated.
I played better horror games, but that doesn't mean that this wasted my time. I wished it had more variety. But if you're the kind of person that likes a quick horror game that delivers on the atmosphere and ambiance then this might be for you.

If you enjoyed Project Zero / Fatal Frame game series, Japanese folklore horror or Chilla's Art games then this game is for your.
- The atmosphere and ambience of the game is spine tinglingly chilly.
- The sounds will cause increasingly more goosebumps to appear on your arms and neck areas.
If you play in a room, with the lights off and THX headphones on, like I do... then you will most certainly have the urge to look back over your shoulder now and then, just to be sure nothing is watching over you...as you explore this dilapidated creepy Japanese inn.
If any of the above entices you, then I implore you to buy this game and support the developer. It is most definitely worth the money.
oooOOOOHHhhhh what was that in the corner of my eye....nothing....I am sure it was nothing.....
