No it's not scary and the dogs anoying, it whines every 10 seconds, and the graphics are about what you would expect from the Nintendo Wii. It also has some glitches, had to reset after trying to pet the dog, and, the save system is dumb. It is spooky though, running around the woods at night, but for some reason I still kinda like it, I'd never pay for it though, I got it on game pass for freaktober or whatever . If you want something 10 times better though, get Soma it's only like 10 or 20 dollars and it's the same people who made amnesia dark descent, Frictional Games, that's much better time and money spent.
