GamesSpot, which obtained a score of 9 out of 10, affirms that “It is a horror game, there is no doubt about that (…) But in any case, looks more like a post-horror game and how living with an unresolved trauma can create nightmares just as damaging as the initial event. As terrifying as it is to be chased by a monster, it is the terrifying demonstration of how a traumatizing act, even after being justly punished, can create a domino effect that, years later, continues to affect the victim. those around you, and even complete strangers. «
Far GameInformer, Who gave 6 out of 10, mentions that “some of the best horror games of the last decade offered scares without combat. After all, abandoned buildings are scarier when you can’t protect yourself from the shadows. However, the lack of The medium Highlight the challenge of letting the atmosphere and puzzles bring a horror experience. The idea of exploring divided realities is great, but the Bloober Team needed another hat hook, because this horror show is a bit shallow”.
Usually, the plot and setting are improved, as well as the sound accompanimentbut graphics (which “don’t catch up to the next generation”) and simple gameplay with easy-to-guess puzzles are criticized.
