The verdict
A gorgeous, campy Until Dawn-style interactive horror movie with branching choices and a strong cast. Skip it if you want real gameplay, likable characters or a satisfying ending.
Great for
Fans of Until Dawn, 80s slasher movies and choice-driven stories, especially in couch co-op on sale
Main risk
Mostly unskippable cutscenes with annoying characters, and replaying for other choices is tedious
What players love
Choices and branching endings with replay value
Mentioned in ~1 in 3 positive reviews
“Almost every decision can affect the story, the relationships between the characters, and even who survives.”

Mentioned in ~1 in 10 negative reviews

Forced motion blur, black bars, no ultrawide
Mentioned in ~1 in 15 negative reviews
“No one likes motionblur and this game forces it after prologue, you can't turn it off, you have to mod the game to do it.”
