Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
9 of 70 sampled reviews raised it
Instead of emphasizing nonstop scares, the game leans into suspense, exploration, and the feeling of venturing into an impossible world where reality no longer follows familiar rules.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
9 of 70 sampled reviews raised it
In co-op, the experience is on another level — you can hear your friends panicking over voice chat, and it actually amplifies the immersion.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
8 of 70 sampled reviews raised it
Lowering the graphics does help somewhat, but performance still feels inconsistent and unpolished.
