The verdict
An atmospheric, movie-faithful 3v4 asymmetrical horror game that fans still love, but it's abandoned, with long queues and a harsh learning curve. Skip it if you want a living game or solo play.
Great for
Fans of the film and Dead by Daylight-style games who can play with friends and buy it on deep sale
Main risk
Dead player base: long queues, veterans stomping newcomers, and no more developer support
What changed in the last 30 days
55 recent reviews
Recent positive reviews say the game still has a lively playerbase and finds matches fast, partly thanks to buzz around Halloween. Players remain sad about abandonment. Moderate confidence.

Fun, varied 3v4 gameplay
Mentioned in ~1 in 8 positive reviews
