👁️ My Thoughts

What I loved 🖤

There isn't much i didn't love about this game, the graphics were insane. I don't have the best pc and the game looked better than any AA title I've played recently. It ran really smoothly too.

Some of the in game features i really loved was the game saving station OH MY GOD i think that is such a truly unique way to save your progress. I really loved the unique way to hide from the monsters . as soon as i saw you could collect wood to build barriers i was shocked at the out of the box idea as most horror games just use hiding mechanics that are pretty simple.

What didn’t work for me ❌

Sometimes i felt like the puzzles were confusing and there wasn't a hint system implemented. I wasn't able to get past the puzzle table which cut my experience short, however i will be reattempting it soon followed with he chapter 2 demo so hopefully it was just me being silly rather than the game being hard .

Scariest moment 😱

Literally all of the game was so eerie i couldn't not feel on edge the entire time. not knowing when the monster is going to spawn and chase you.... wow truly insane, especially when breaking down doors and hearing the monster coming.
