It's alright. Mechanics are similar to games like Amnesia and it's got some creepy locations, although it relies mostly on artificial jump scares for its thrills. There are a few simple code breaking puzzles, some run while being chased sections, and a number of quick-time events scattered throughout. Early on you are given a device that drives the plot forward but the capabilities of the device are honestly absurd and it feels out of place in this game. It's definitely made well enough to be worth it on sale, particularly for fans of games like Amnesia.

Boston, 1979, Adam, the CIA cryptanalyst, leaves the city and moves to the countryside with his wife, Emma. His handlers are afraid they won’t be able to keep him safe there, but Adam believes he needs a peaceful place in the woodland, to take a shot at the military code. His work may alter the course of the Cold War. As it turns out, this area is quite the opposite of a peaceful place they have expected...
In the attic Adam finds a mysterious diary written by a man called Nicolas Hyde, allegedly, a past resident of the same house who lived there in the 19th Century. Once opened, the diary carries the nightmares of the past right into Adam’s times, putting the lives of Adam and Emma in great danger.

Excellent survival horror story! Great graphics, good story, good boss battles, good horror elements, good sound and music! Keeps you going till the end! Recommend!
The first horror game that actually scared me in a while. There are a ton of jumpscares which got a little annoying at times but in general, a pretty good experience so far

Really great atmosphere and pacing with the PC swaps and even if the ending choices were bit minimal in terms of what changes it held together until the end. Though the part of the dev team that though placing all these random desk drawers, cupboards, shelf drawers and what not there and then making them hold and drag to open must have had few giggles. Especially since 9 out of 10 times the drawers contain nothing but on the chance they do have the interactable icon whispers to me like the [spoiler]Ebil Nicholas[/spoiler] whispered to Adam's ancestor. At least devs weren't sadistic enough to place the journal pickups to absolute random places in the wilds and mines but they were close and near the actual objectives, small solace. And for the sequel maybe tone down the jumpscares a bit, if you 1-2-3 them back to back too often they just bleed out the tension and anxiety of expecting them.
Fun game, only horror title that made me jump so bad my heart skipped a beat. Good story and great performance.
Solid spooky game with a great story.
Absolutely loved it.
Interested story line, Beautiful soundtracks, Good environments, Good game play.
