Always had a soft spot for the Frictional's brand of horror even though it isn't my usual cup of tea, the form of horror gaming I usually aspire to is the ones where you only have five bullets and you know there's a monster in the next room that you're going to have to fight. With that I've come to appreciate Frictional's games from an atmosphere and narrative perspective, The Dark Descent and (especially) Soma both tapping into more existential subconscious fears.

That said, The Bunker is straight up one of the most exciting survival horror experiences to come out in years, I try not to exaggerate so believe me when I say that this is one of the most tightly designed experiences I've had the pleasure of playing and if you consider yourself a fan of this genre you need to check it out.
I want to write more, so we'll see if I come back to this but I am in awe of this beautiful little game.
