Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
I thought that the writing was generally cheesy and hard to enjoy.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
I loved the limited visual fidelity it really added to the horror and had me sh*tting myself despite it just being pure sound design and a word in the middle of my screen. speaking on that the sound design is really good it's super effective for the horror and the overall atmosphere. the gameplay is so simple and would be incredibly boring but the limited visuals really add to making it o much more engaging and fun. feeling accomplished and hyped by merely finding a door really shows how effective it is.
