The verdict
A short, atmospheric hand-drawn 2.5D horror adventure with a striking art style and story focus, but simple, walking-heavy gameplay. Skip it if you want depth or if the launch crash hits you.

Main risk
Crashes within a minute of launch for some, plus shallow, walking-heavy, short gameplay
