Beating this game was like finishing Requiem For A Dream (movie) for the first time. Different stories & mediums, but the same uncomfortable silence as the credits rolled...
Not usually a massive horror game fan but really enjoyed this. Made me realise I just don't like survival horror or constant jumpscares. This game was mainly focused on the eerie atmosphere and the story itself. Which I very much enjoyed. There were still a couple of minor jumpscares but they were well done and didn't make me want to stop playing at all. Think I now have to go on a search for more psychological horror similar to this.
A short and simple story that wouldn’t work without its narrative structure and stylistic choices, slowly pulling you into a deep, boiling swamp of personal hell and blurring the lines of reality. Even though the game clearly overuses some tricks, it still leaves you with appreciation for its art and ideas that run beneath the bloody red surface
