What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Back when I played it in 2022 on its release, I thought of the 2012 creepypasta horror story about "The Tulpa" (https://www.creepypasta.com/tulpa/) basically the practice of creating a "tulpa" in your mind, a darker twist to imaginary friends, just that with its creation it would consume the better part of you as well.
Although it’s not for the faint of heart, it has an eccentric and intriguing story, with unique gameplay I haven’t seen elsewhere that I can’t help but recommend this fantastic work of art.
Pros 👍 Manipulating facial expressions to make decisionsHaunting visual art style Excellent replayability with 15 endingsEngaging story with ARG elementsCons 👎Controlling facial expressions can be finicky sometimesMinor bugsDisturbing scenes might be an acquired taste PC Specs: RTX 2070 Super |i7 4790S |12 GB RAM |Playing at 1440p resolutionAverage Playtime:6+ Hours
Overall atmosphere is made even better by the soundtrack which perfectly suits every single scenario that is on the screen.
Small note: If you're playing on Linux / Steam Deck, a large portion of the game is functionally inaccessible to you.
