19 of 110 sampled reviews raised it
The game's visuals are impressive for an indie title, with detailed environments that capture the misty, folklore inspired Japanese setting.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
11 of 110 sampled reviews raised it
While it delivers some atmospheric tension through sound design and occasional jump scares, it falls short on delivering genuine scares or deep psychological depth.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
6 of 110 sampled reviews raised it
For a VERY short 2 to 3 hour playthrough with highly immersive sound, surprisingly engaging puzzles and a very casual difficulty- a decent gameplay experience was provided throughout. not good enough to be considered replayable or iconic of course, but somewhat sates that short term, to the point horror game craving.
Bugs
Players who bring up Bugs mostly praise it.
4 of 110 sampled reviews raised it
I encountered no bugs, glitches, or crashes during my playthrough, which is a plus for stability.
