Steam reviews

What players say

Mostly positive, with praise for its eerie mood and puzzles, though many players find the maze tedious and the chase frustrating.

Most reviewers recommend the game, though a small group does not. Many players enjoy the eerie atmosphere and the lore around Greg, and some like the puzzles that reward careful exploration. The main complaints are that the maze is confusing and repetitive, that searching for keys and turning locks drags on, and that the pursuing creature is more annoying than frightening. Many of the most recent reviews are short and joking, often calling the game unplayable or a punishment, and some say their friends enjoyed it. The more helpful reviews from the last year are more measured, focusing on the puzzles and the difficulty of finishing the game.

Criticised

  • Tedious maze

    Players find the maze confusing and repetitive, with long stretches spent searching for keys.

    Many players
  • Chase monster frustrates

    Some players
  • Puzzles guessed by trial

    Players solved puzzles by randomly trying options rather than by understanding them.

    A few players
Who it suits
Players who like puzzle-heavy horror and enjoy joking, meme-driven discussion of Greg will likely find something here.
Who should skip it
Players who want a tight, fast-paced horror game or who dislike long maze searches should skip it.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with more hours tend to focus on the difficulty of finishing and on the pursuing creature, while those with under an hour mostly joke or describe their first impression.
