"Super game! I love the atmosphere! First game I’ve rated a 5. Great Job 😀"

"Awesome game! the atmosphere is really amazing! 😀 5/5 Great job!"

"This is a pretty fun horror game. Batteries are key because if you run out of light you are totally boned! It adds to the tension that the flashlight dies so fast. You just have to run headlong into each and every terrifying hallway because hesitation means less flashlight power. It's well worth the $3"
