What players say

97% of 13,569 reviews are positive · 95% of 97 in the last 30 days

Players praise the eerie atmosphere, distinctive art, and challenging escape-room puzzles. The most common complaint is that later puzzles can feel obtuse or tedious and push players toward guides; some also dislike that the free first chapter ends on a cliffhanger and continuing requires the paid second chapter.
