Review:
I must say, this is a really scary and intense game, almost to intense to actually complete. My god it is scary. The atmosphere is so dark, quiet and crowded, and it makes it so unsettling. At so many points you just want to give up and stay hidden, but doing so may but you in even more danger! And the sound effects! My god! You can hardly make out where it comes from, but you damn well know it is coming for you! The art-style, mechanics, audio and overall gameplay is fantastic and so polished!
It is however somewhat hard to complete as there is no save- or checkpoint system, which means death results in you having to start over. I was lucky to make it through in my first try, but when I replayed for the second ending, I had to try several times. The problem is that it seems to be impossible to escape the monsters as soon as they spot you. I did escape the water-monster once by throwing a rat at it, but that did not seem to work any of the other times I attempted it. I assume the rats are for distracting it, but you can not throw them vary far, so they do not seems to be of great use.
Despite these minor issue I managed to immerse myself and complete both endings, so this game gets a clear rating of 5/5! Keep up the great work!
