While it's an horror game, I didn't find the game very scary but it does have a great atmosphere and settings. A lot of the jumpscares were not as impactful as they should be though and the intense chords in the soundtrack proved to be somewhat annoying. The camera gimmick is great and the game makes good use of darkness.

The game does have stressful segments where you're being pursued but it's easy to realise the AI is extremely limited and you can just turn around a pillar or something blocking their way to lose them. Overall I'd say these segments were annoying because you have no idea where you're going and you have to think at the same time as you run to solve a puzzle. For example, the first chase segment is great because you most likely already know that you need to go to the basement and the enemy stops following you when you arrive at the location, however many of them happen during parts where you don't know what to do and it takes forever to solve the riddle because of that. Some were successful in making you stressful out of fear of losing your progress but others are just an annoyance, especially when you just can't find the solution.
