110 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It is the type of game that stays with you not because of its mechanics alone, but because of the way it unsettles and challenges your expectations, weaving gameplay and narrative together seamlessly.
Audio

36 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The aesthetics are supported by a moody synth-driven soundtrack, reminiscent of 80s horror films, which underscores the slow build of tension and dread.

32 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics are really great, and the renditions of 80's equipment and computers is very, *very* realistic.
