Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
-(Story) The presented ideals about the story are rather simple, while I do like the ideal of a haunted house that had a cult in it, I personally feel that it's a bit convoluted in few areas.

I'll be honest here; the graphics could be a whole lot better.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Whenever I take out the flashlight Navid locks into one direction, and making him turn around takes way longer than what it needs to, another thing that bothers the gameplay is how you cannot move while holding the flashlight which would be a HUGE help for any new enemies that may come after you.
