If you are looking for a fun new horror game to play that focuses on puzzle solving, exploration and story, then this is the game for you. Just do not expect any combat or difficult gameplay. Its just a fun experience. Pros: The environment, sound, story and general feel of the game is just great. It has a Silent Hill vibe but that is also to be expected since the person who worked on the music of Silent Hill worked on this game. Overall, many of the ideas and images are just fantastic and meld really well. For example, the feel of the razor blade cutting the flesh walls blocking the path, and how the charecter as a spirit medium is hearing echos of the past from objects. Cons: Overall, the game is a tad bit short and I beat it in about 12 hours. For the type of game that it is, this is not unusual like for example the original Silent Hill or Resident Evil. Another downside is that since there is no combat in this game, all you really do is run away from the big bad in every situation. Other games like this one that focuses on puzzle solving and stealth have used puzzles as ways to create challenging and horrifying boss fights so this game has no excuse for dropping the ball. If I could give this game 4 and a half stars, I would due to never truly feeling that you are facing off the big bad but everything else is a delight and a breath fresh air in the genre.

One of the best Metrodvanias I ever played in years.
