The verdict
A cheap, janky co-op horror game with creepy monsters and fun scares with friends. It's short, buggy and poorly optimized, so skip it if you want a polished or solo experience.
Great for
Groups of friends who want cheap, chaotic co-op scares and can tolerate bugs
Main risk
Bugs, multiplayer connection failures and poor performance make it frustrating or unplayable
