  • +you enjoy spotting small changes in your surroundings
  • +you like comparing clues with friends in online co-op
  • +you prefer strange, unsettling moments to constant scares

Not for you if...

  • −you dislike restarting from the beginning after wrong choices
  • −you want a long game with many maps
  • −you avoid games with sudden jump scares
