i'm so terribly horrified of horror especially in water but this game seemed way to good to pass up trying. amazing story telling, probably soiled myself once or twice, and am very happy I took the time to play it even if horror games shake me to my core lolll
Easily one of the greatest story-driven games ever made. I still think about it after all these years. Frictional drops banger after banger, but this is the cream of the crop.
At first I enjoyed being in a sunny Toronto. Then I realized this game wasn't a happy chill experience. Genuinely terrifying experience. Great use of physics, atmosphere and story telling! Goodluck... If you have the guts to play this one!
