Most helpful, recommending the game
Too clunky to recommend, too atmospheric to dismiss. The real mystery is whether I actually liked it.

Most helpful reviews, 4 to 10 November
Steam’s top-ranked review for and against the game in these 7 days, in English. Votes as they stood when this map was made.
Most helpful, against the game
It's a (lovecraftian) horror game, but without the horror. I didn't feel like I was in any real danger throughout the game. The detective segments didn't make me feel like a detective, and the dialogue system didn't make me feel like I was making significant choices that affected the main storyline. It's a mediocre walking simulator that kept me playing thanks to its H. P. Lovecraft setting.
