Story and characters

Unfortunately, the other four episodes were much better with their pacing and story.
106 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The improved gameplay definitely justifies the price increase from $5 to $10 the last couple episodes, but come on, a $10 game should at least have a Save and Quit button.

The cabin, surrounding woods, and nearby locations are designed to feel lived-in and believable, with careful attention to lighting, sound, and spatial detail.
