Steam reviews

What players say

Mostly positive: players call it a fun, creepy co-op horror game for the price, with bugs and confusing objectives as the main complaints.

Many players enjoy playing it with friends, where chases with the monsters turn into laughter. Players praise the creepy atmosphere, the unusual enemy designs, the mix of puzzles and exploration, and the interconnected map. Some players find the story thin or confusing, and the puzzles and tasks can feel vague. Some reviews report softlocks from missing objective items and glitched elevators, and the monsters sometimes clip through walls. Several players want more content, as the game is short. The VR mode gets criticised by a few players. Recent reviews are more mixed, with more complaints about glitches and repetitive enemies, while older helpful reviews are more often positive about the value on sale.

Criticised

  • Bugs and softlocks

    Players report missing objective items, glitched elevators and softlocks that forced them to restart or send save files.

    Some players
  • Vague objectives and navigation

    Players find the tasks unclear and the map unhelpful, leading to lots of aimless wandering.

    Some players
  • Short with thin story

    Players feel the game is short and its story is thin or confusing, with some wanting more content.

    Some players
  • Repetitive and janky enemies

    Players say enemies clip through walls, camp corridors and swarm too often, which feels repetitive later on.

    Some players
Who it suits
Players who want a silly, scary co-op game to play with friends, especially at a low price on sale.
Who should skip it
Players who want a deep story, polished objectives or a long experience should skip it, and VR players are poorly served.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with more hours tend to complain about vague objectives and repetitive enemies, while newcomers mostly praise the scares and co-op fun.
