Story

83 of 181 sampled reviews raised it
The story is otherworldly to say the least, as it manages to put to bed quite literally those who haven't the clue and are destroying their bodies by staying up late.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
23 of 181 sampled reviews raised it
The gameplay is straight up fresh as your heart is left racing with life and death scenarios that are almost impossible to escape the first time through!
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
6 of 181 sampled reviews raised it
I also love that we get to see what David has been up to since the events of the Crooked Man.The pixel Graphics are still really good like the previous game with plenty of things to see and the cutscene art are just as good as the previous game.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
3 of 181 sampled reviews raised it
The music and sound effects are still good, but I will say a certain music should have been in one part of the game.
