👍 Strengths

43 reviews remember playing with friends as the highlight, solving puzzles together while genuinely scared, and a few say it led to lasting friendships. 14 enjoy the frightening atmosphere, with sudden jump scares and tense escape scenes.

Multiplayer ranks 506th of 642 and Pricing & Fairness ranks 1072nd of 1399, and some regret money spent on a game that stopped growing.
