A fun, dark, and atmospheric horror game that can give you a good jump scare once in awhile, despite the cute yellow raincoat-wearing protagonist. To experience this game at it's creepiest, I highly recommend playing at night with all of the lights off.
A level in this game typically has you navigate through creepy, dark areas while solving a bunch of puzzles to get to the end. To see where you are going, you will need to illuminate the way with your trusty flashlight. But beware, there are all sorts of giant creatures that will attack if they hear or see you. If you are looking for an extra challenge and/or are a trophy hunter, there are also a number of hidden items and secrets you can try to uncover, increasing this game's replay value.
While I enjoyed playing through this game and the horror of being spotted by one of the giant creatures (even though I swore I was being careful enough!), it does have it's flaws, mainly the controls. The game sometimes has you navigate over thin platforms and it can be difficult to tell what plain you are on, causing you to constantly fall off and having to try again. There is also a segment on the last chapter of the DLC where you have to use the right joystick to shine your flashlight on enemies. Since pushing the right joystick also turns the flashlight on and off, using the same joystick to control the direction of the flashlight becomes really frustrating when you are constantly turning it off by accident, causing you to redo the entire section. There were parts where I just wanted the level to be over with because of this kind of unfair frustration.
Overall, if you are looking for a short and simple game to play and are into atmospheric horror and puzzle games, this game is probably right up your alley.
