Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
39 of 111 sampled reviews raised it
The game takes a huge amount of inspiration from Dark Souls, not just aesthetically but also with regards to the gameplay in certain ways; and that's no bad thing.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
17 of 111 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics are crude, the sound is OK, but the story is good so far and the dev added achievments, which I enjoy.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
15 of 111 sampled reviews raised it
The lighting greatly enhances the atmospheric with how it works with light sources to make shadows dance on the walls, and since the majority of times the light source is your staff, this really makes exploring the creepy environments all that more immersive.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
12 of 111 sampled reviews raised it
The spell system is very well done, and while you have little health and no regeneration, careful preparation and skill allows for very rewarding combat without ever making you feel too powerful for the enemies you face.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
8 of 111 sampled reviews raised it
VR brings the punishing difficulty and survival horror tension to a whole new level.
