One sentence: This game is hard. Hard as f*ck. (Actually, two sentences).
I must say that it's weird to make a review of this kind of game because... the game's mechanics are really simple, making you wonder if it is a game in itself.
This isn't an horror game per se, but it is a kind of horror game. It seems contradictory, but it's not. There is a lot of different ''horror'' games, and this is one of them.

Let me explain: It's not... scary... it's spooky/freaky. Let me explain: This game is rich in visual and emotions. It makes you feel strange inside, and it breaks the fourth wall. The horror comes from your own emotions. The horror, is the weirdness that this game try to make you feel, and it succeeds, in my own opinion. There are levels in which you think that it's never going to end, or that you might never succeed. No matter how hard you try, you still feel helpless. The character is (You are) slow, the attacks are slow, so the ''freaky'' factor comes from the way you move. You are nothing in a ''fast'' moving world.
The spooky factor comes from the atmosphere. The sounds are weird. The footsteps sounds are heavy, like if you had the burden of the world on you. Multiple noises comes from everywhere. And you ask yourself: ''What's the point?'' ''where do I go?'' ''What's the purpose of everything'' ''It seems so random''. This game is hard.
And when you wanna quit the game, you have one sentence saying: ''I can't go on like this... I give up.....''.

It think that this game's about depression, and how life can be hard for some. I'll try to make a full deep review of this game on youtube in French, and also in English and cover it from front to back. It deserve some praise because I think that this ''game'' is more a work of ''Art'' than an ''entertainment''. (Don't get me wrong, Art is a large word, but in this case, it is used to express ''a form of work that makes you feel diferrent emotions''). So I do recommend this experience, because it is a real ''charm' in it's genre.

Some will find this game frustrating... and yes it is. The NEGATIVE thing I have to say about it is that, sometime, (and it seems random) you have to start the game all over again. I am really disapointed in this, because I want to know more about it and my skills are really low in the 3rd (or 4th... not sure) and i am unable to fully get the whole narrative.

One of my friend bought me this game, because he wanted me to play and analyse it. And I will do a full coverage on it for sure! I am happy that some games are more than ''just a piece to entertain a mass''. The puzzles are weird, as they are not puzzles like ''Zelda'' or ''Myst'' or whatever other mainstream ''puzzle'' game (Don't get me wrong here, I appreciate mainstream games also). Pricing is also good. There are piece of s**t selling for 20-35$, and this game is less than 5$ for one of those experiences.
