22 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The game masterfully builds suspense, relying on psychological horror rather than cheap jump scares, and the wise use of atmospheric sound design, dim lighting, and chilling whispers creates an unnerving ambiance that will keep you on edge more than once, which is refreshing.

The sound design deserves particular praise, using subtle environmental noises, distant footsteps, unexplained whispers, and eerie silence to create a persistent feeling of unease.
