Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise 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.
