Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
81 of 250 sampled reviews raised it
Rendered almost entirely in stark black and white, the game looks like a living horror comic or graphic novel, filled with thick lines, shadowy textures, and a kind of eerie visual roughness that’s rare in modern games.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
74 of 250 sampled reviews raised it
The arsenal includes a satisfying selection of eight weapons, each serving different combat needs—from close-range shotguns to long-range rifles.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
48 of 250 sampled reviews raised it
Combined with unsettling sound design and an eerie soundtrack, the game successfully evokes a sense of dread that fits its subject matter.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
31 of 250 sampled reviews raised it
