The verdict
A short, funny co-op Papers, Please-style horror shop sim that shines with friends over a 3-5 hour story. Skip it if you want challenge, replayability or solo play.
Great for
Duos or small groups wanting a silly, spooky one-or-two-evening co-op game on a budget
Main risk
Too short, too easy and repetitive, so the doppelganger mechanic loses meaning and replay value
What players love
