The anomaly mechanics are engaging, but some can be hard to find.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
56 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
What I found was an immersive photography horror game, with not just jump-scares, but solid twists, a coherent story, and a lot of callbacks/references to other “pop culture”.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
10 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The filmic style camera, the PS1-style graphics, and the unsettling ambient sounds REALLY make the game.
