Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
45 of 71 sampled reviews raised it
Unique story, chilling atmosphere and heavier-on-the-puzzles/lighter-on-the-action gameplay lets us take part in the freak circus reunion years after the deadly fire.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
16 of 71 sampled reviews raised it
Another great point’n’click (this time - horror) with light survival mechanics from the developers of very fun and very underrated “Nine Witches: Family Disruption”.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
7 of 71 sampled reviews raised it
The visuals are comprised of charming (even when it shows gore) pixel art and a skillful play of light and shadow (that is also a big part of the gameplay – that damn kerosene lamp that keeps running out of fuel!).
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
5 of 71 sampled reviews raised it
There’s a plethora of sound effects that are implemented with a phenomenal attention to detail (for example, if walking on the stone floor Ollie steps into a small puddle – you’ll hear a splash, even if it’s just one step), but beyond those there are only occasional short ambient tracks.
