What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
The atmosphere, writing, and music all work beautifully together to make the asylum an engaging place to explore.
Gameplay mechanics are revealed gradually, with many things that previously looked like background decoration coming into play as you progress, which is neat.
QUALITY ART, GREAT SOUND DESIGN AND MUSIC
The combination of the great soundtrack, immersive visuals, and the sheer attention to detail make it a joy to play every time.
I've only made it past the first boss in the first few hours I've played it but it's keeping me glued to my Steam Deck and I will be keeping my eye out for whatever this studios next game is as well.
