Since it already has a review score of mixed, I'm going to mark this as recommended, but this game is not particularly fun. I liked the pixel art and all the ways to die. At first it's spooky, but after a few tries it just becomes annoying trying to complete it -- maybe it's meant to mimic the unending hell the protagonist is stuck in? I don't know. All I can say is it's unforgiving, possibly buggy, and I still haven't made it out of the house. Even if you do everything you're supposed to, the game can turn around and kill you anyway.
