This game is not for the faint of heart. It is extremely atmospheric and dark with nightmarish themes. I played this at nighttime to get into the mood of the game, pitch black, on edge and waiting for a surprise at every turn, every door, every room. The jump scares work so well and leave you feeling scared, emotional and on edge.

The story is good, progressing in stages through the experience. I wont talk about the story as it's good to experience on your own. There are different endings too depending on your actions through out the game giving it some replay value.

The puzzles are not too challenging but still require a little bit of thinking. The graphics are simply superb but are not taxing on your system, meaning you can play  this with high graphics settings without needing a beast of a gaming PC to play it.

I recommend this game as something different from the usual gaming experiences, but it is aimed at those who love horror and getting the shit scared outta ya! Check out the official trailer below!
