Does it worth your time?

A very positively reviewed horror game and it certainly deserves all the praise. It is slow on some parts and the story barely makes any sense, but the atmosphere is on point, the puzzles are really good and these is some combat for variety. All in all a very well-made indie horror game.

The game forces you to finish it 3 times, which is a lot. You are also forced to go for what is essentially 100% playthrough twice. The missable achievements have to do with puzzle solving, and a couple puzzles are so random you will have to use a guide. But that doesn't mean the rest will not feel rewarding.

First Playthrough

The first thing you should do is go on options, and on accessibily enable the Show Objectives and change the font of the Size of the Interaction Button to big or extra big. The game tries to be too realistic with the environment which makes it too difficult to differentiate the items you can interact with. A lot of the puzzles are optional and you should try to solve as many as possible, because you will need a lot of Upgrade Items to max out your weapons. Upgrade Items will persist through subsequent playthroughs and will respawn on the same spot. On the other hand, Memories as soon as you pick them up, they will not spawn again. You know which ones you have picked up by going on the Extras from the menu screen.

Six achievements are story related and unmissable: Starter Finish the game , Pianist Defeat the Piano Monster , Arachnophobia Defeat the Spider Mother , Violator Defeat the Red Light (Aquiles) , Check-out Survive the Hotel and Boy Scout Survive the Forest .
