The verdict
A short, solo-made homage to PS2-era Silent Hill with great atmosphere and sound, but clunky combat and camera, empty areas and a thin story. Skip at full price.
Great for
Fans of PS2-era survival horror and tank controls who value mood over polish and can buy on sale
Main risk
Clunky combat and camera plus empty, repetitive areas make it feel boring and unpolished
