In the game, you play a character who awakes in a dank building next to a freshly murdered person. As you use a flashlight to explore your dark surroundings, you find a lot of evidence that suggests you're the killer, but it's up to you to find out precisely what happened.

Best Version: Windows

— This section contains spoilers! —

Good

  • The ambiance, both from an audio and visual standpoint are pretty good.
  • I really like how the game world actually changes itself based on what you do.
  • There are a few moments that got my heart beating faster and areas that made me feel claustrophobic.

Bad

  • The graphics seem needlessly pixelated. I presume because Benjamin Rivers didn't want to have to draw higher resolution art himself.
  • None of the puzzles are very difficult, except perhaps the safe which I haven't been able to open.

Ugly

  • There isn't enough to the game. After your first play through, you'll have to repeat the vast majority of the game in the exact same way to see minor changes to the ending.
