👍 Strengths

Story & World appears in 77% of analyzed reviews and ranks 328th of 1096. 68 reviews praise its world and atmosphere, and the most upvoted cites dark humor and creative writing. 65 say they enjoyed it, some planning to try endless mode, and 36 praise the story, some also liking the jump scares. Others loved the soundtrack, and some would replay it again and again for a better ending. Content Volume ranks 367th of 1351, and Pricing & Fairness ranks 108th of 1399.

👎 Where it falls short

Complaints are few. 16 reviews find the content thin, some saying the management systems lack depth for business sim fans. 13 criticize the story, some calling the store description misleading and the scares cheap. 4 say the game should explain its content, noting no warning for a sexual assault scene. Others feel the horror elements are disconnected from the story, and a few were trapped in the basement by a bug. Gameplay ranks 282nd of 1396, and Visuals & Sound ranks 682nd of 1249.
