Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
91 of 259 sampled reviews raised it
The story is maybe the most okay part about this game, the town myth is set up nicely, but quite basic, there are some interesting twists and misdirections, and I loved the part about how all of the events started Amy is just a really cool and interesting character.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
8 of 259 sampled reviews raised it
The integration of live-action video calls and interactive elements boosts immersion, while the sound design subtly heightens the suspense throughout the investigation.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
6 of 259 sampled reviews raised it
The game feels like it has higher production values than the others too with visuals scares being a lot more impressive and well put together in the video sequences than they were before.
