Was not able to even play for a half hour before I had to stop because the game just completely freezes randomly for a good 15-20+ Seconds every 2-3 minutes no matter what settings I use.
Steam review, 20 January 2025 · 1 hours played · 10 readers marked it helpful-Not worth playing through Emily's side of the story -Safes are a very bad game dynamic -Resident Evil like lack of ammo -Boring collectibles -Journals and notes are pretty boring -Tons of mini-freezing and stuttering throughout the game.

A further 28 reviews call the game buggy or broken without saying how, which is why they are counted separately rather than assigned to a theme. Counted by keyword across review text, so a review discussing two problems is counted under both. Read the reviews yourself.
