Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
32 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Would be nice if the game were more optimised for older hardware on first launch as the menu was running like a powerpoint (expected issues like this due to early access) but as I said after decreasing the graphic settings game ran smoothly with no frame drops during actual gameplay

I really liked the ending and didn't know it was only chapter 1.

The atmosphere is meticulously crafted, with eerie sound design, haunting visuals, and a relentless sense of dread that keeps you on edge.
