The verdict

A fun asymmetric co-op horror game with a great blind-monster concept and proximity voice chat, but it's abandoned, has a dead playerbase and often won't load. Skip it unless you have a full friend group.

Great for

Groups of 3-6 friends wanting cheap, screamy asymmetric horror nights

Main risk

Dead servers and abandonment, plus loading-screen bugs, may leave the game unplayable
