Long Review

STORY: Story is amazing, and very well developed, it puts you in the head and insanity of the three characters, as well as your own (if you do the hidden tapes) it brings you into this sensation of horror and absolute torture of the minds of these people, the broken heads of them, and the things that their mind lead them to, it is something that nearly breaks your heart when you think about it, a lonely child, damaged by her mind and the imaginary insidious friend that lead her to do unspeakable things that a child should never even fathom. The elderly woman, broken by her own mind and her mental conditions, leading to her husband being overwhelmed by taking care of her, and the child they made an attempt at raising together. The lone man, driven by insanity, and the feeling that he is always being watched, that everyone is out for him, leaving him to lead on this idea that he must kill, or be killed. Last but certainly not least, you, the player, who has to deal with the guilt of addiction, and the crazy things it caused, driven by the guilt of the murder of your own family, you must come to terms with your end in this story, and accept what you've done. - 10/10 Best horror narrative since P.T.

GRAPHICS: Absolutely stunning, sometimes I enjoyed taking a moment and just enjoying the environment, especially in the sections that took place outside. The developers left no area non-stunning, even in this run-down kinda dirty house that you surround yourself in, it is still beautiful, and it really captures that horror and tense environment. The textures are crisp and good looking, the lighting is realistic and perfectly captures the need to keep the lights on, and helps with the desperation when they go out. - 10/10

GAMEPLAY: The gameplay is amazing, and the survival horror functionality is great, the game means it when it says "Good item management and resources are your best friends" there is but one flaw in the gameplay and that is sometimes lighters or items in my hands get stuck on doors and stuff, but that's it, the gameplay is perfect in the sense of keeping your sanity low and such. The game provides everything you need to survive, what matters is how you use it, and if you use it well, you will exceed in the game. - 9/10

HORROR: By far one of the scariest games since Outlast. The problem with most horror games nowadays, is how much they wanna be like Outlast, running away from the creepy monster and everything, nothing was new nothing was creative after Outlast, but then Visage released and people felt what real horror was for the first time in a few years. This game perfectly captures the idea that when the lights go out, sh!t is going to hit the fan, it captures the idea that if you don't play your cards right, it will result in the end of your life. The chases are brilliant, with the lights flickering and that endowed sense of utter panic, constantly looking around to see where "It" is, overall genius horror game. - 10/10

OVERALL: By far one of the most genius Horror games in sense of scariness, and gameplay, it also brings itself as one of the most visually stunning games of all horror, with its impeccable graphics, and even with said graphics, the performance optimization is incredibly well done, and doesn't strain your computer to where it completely struggles to play. This game brings the best narrative story that we've seen in horror in years, diving into a real world struggle, and things that some people deal with daily, it takes us into their minds, and gives us a sense of sympathy towards them. Brilliant gameplay and level design, brilliant story telling, and brilliant horror experience all in all - 9.5/10

If you're a fan of horror and such movie titles like Paranormal Activity, you will absolutely love this experience
