Steam reviews

What players say

Short, free and tense, with strong atmosphere, though many find it brief, buggy and slow to move through.

Most reviewers recommend this short, free horror episode, and many praise its atmosphere: quiet rooms, household sounds and a realistic home-alone setting keep players on edge without monsters or constant jump scares. Some call it a good introduction to the series. Complaints centre on its very short length, often 20 to 30 minutes, and on technical problems. Many players report choppy movement on the stairs, awkward camera sensitivity, no settings menu, and crashes or unclear steps that force them to replay from the start. Some find the story thin or the gameplay basic, and a few say the episode is too frightening for younger players. Recent reviews are more mixed than Steam's overall totals, with several players reporting the same movement and performance issues.

Praised

  • Tense atmosphere

    Silence, empty rooms and small household sounds keep players on edge without monsters.

    Many players
  • Realistic home-alone setting

    Everyday tasks in a normal house make the scenario feel plausible and unsettling.

    Many players
  • Free and quick to try

    Players call it good value because it costs nothing and takes about 20 minutes.

    Many players
  • Good introduction to the series

    Players see it as a solid start that makes them want to play the later episodes.

    Some players

Criticised

  • Very short length

    Players finish it in 10 to 30 minutes and find the story thin.

    Many players
  • Choppy movement and bugs

    Stairs and movement stutter, and some players soft-lock or cannot progress.

    Many players
  • No checkpoints or settings

    A death can shut the game down and send players back to the start, with no options menu to adjust controls.

    Some players
  • Basic gameplay

    Players find the interaction shallow and the tasks unclear, and the game very easy.

    Some players
Who it suits
Suits players who want a short, free, atmospheric horror experience and do not mind rough technical edges.
Who should skip it
Players who expect a longer story, polished controls or challenge should skip it, and younger players may find it too frightening.
