Another certified banger from this dev, really enjoyed Cannibal Abduction + Night of The Scissors and I think this one is even better. Super tense and nail biting on the edge type of game, cool retro vibes and likeable Protag. Story is meh but it fits the gameplay well enough, decent puzzles. Supports UW and I didn't experience any bugs or technical issues ect. Sound design is immersive, was always listening intently for those foot steps. Kinda hard to see during chase I have the same issue with Puppet Combo games, i get it's a design choice I just find it hard on the eyes im old. I liked how it gets darker every time you save that's a neat idea. I love found footage films so I was pleasantly surprised by those elements, recording evidence is simple but adds to the immersion. It's short and has a little replayability with the higher difficulties being unlocked but is prob a one and done for most. Looking forward to next one! 8.1/10

Well worth the sacrifice.
Short and sweet, a solid bite sized chunk of horror.
I really liked this game! Goat guy was scary and the puzzles were cool. That said, it was also soul-crushingly annoying at times. Having to play a section over and over really sucks. I also thought the character handles pretty badly. Still…cool horror game that worth your time and $.
