Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
36 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The tension builds up as you flip through those cameras, and sometimes, you'll catch something right at the moment it happens.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
18 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The difficulty and randomization encourage replaying the game and going in with what you know can change, and discovering more subtle anomalies you've missed before.If you don't like trial-by-error, you might get a bit frustrated with that, since full runs take about 20 minutes and it's entirely possible to lose even in the last in-game hour.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
16 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It's a particularly fun game to stream to audience or a group of friends, too!
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It has very eerie visuals with the anomalies and has a horror vibe to it so it stays true to being a horror game.
Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
6 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The interface is so plain-looking, and it really adds to the atmosphere of being a security guard or something.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
4 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Sound design is used sparingly, but effectively, with subtle cues that heighten tension without overwhelming the player.
