I'm surprised, because a game like this, being free, manages to be better (although shorter) than many paid games out there on Steam, the game is beautiful graphically and has great audio for the game's theme, the gameplay is simple but satisfying and the jumpscares are simple too, they're not too scary but it's good.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
17 of 300 sampled reviews raised it

The atmosphere is eerie and the objects to find are not too hard to find without being too easy.
