Steam reviews

What players say

Players find it a short, free, silly horror comedy that mostly makes them laugh; many say it is far too short and not very scary.

Most reviewers recommend the game and describe it as a short, free dark comedy with absurd characters, a memorable wheelchair-bound antagonist and crude jokes that many found funny. Some call it genuinely creepy in places, with a few jump scares and a strong atmosphere, while others say it is more silly than scary. The most common complaint is length: most playthroughs are around ten to fifteen minutes, and many players feel it ends before it has started. Some report performance problems, including low frame rates and a useless flashlight, and a few say a keypad puzzle blocked their progress. Several of the more negative reviews come from players who found the humour juvenile or felt they got nothing for their time. Recent reviews are too few to show a trend, so no change in opinion is reported.

Praised

  • Dark, absurd humour

    Players laugh at the crude, over-the-top jokes and bizarre characters, especially the wheelchair-bound antagonist.

    Many players
  • Some real scares

    Players say the jump scares and tense atmosphere actually unsettled them, even if the game is short.

    Some players
  • Free and cheap to try

    Reviewers appreciate that the game costs nothing or very little, which makes a quick, low-risk try worthwhile.

    Some players

Criticised

  • Far too short

    Players finish it in around ten to fifteen minutes and many feel it ends just as it gets going.

    Many players
  • Little real horror

    Reviewers say the game is more silly or parodic than scary and relies on scripted scares rather than dread.

    Some players
  • Technical problems

    Players report low frame rates, a nearly useless flashlight, missing pause or settings menus, and a keypad puzzle that would not open the door.

    Some players
Who it suits
Suited to players who want a quick, free, lighthearted horror comedy with crude humour and do not need depth or length.
Who should skip it
Players who want a substantial or genuinely frightening horror experience, or who dislike juvenile jokes, should skip it.
