### 1/5 — What the F….

*2026-06-07*

Do not waste your time downloading this game

### 4/5 — Its a fun fmv but…

*2026-03-29*

The playback becomes unstable and skips frames when airplaying to a tv which takes away from the fun of having an irl watch-along with family.

### 1/5 — 目的がわからない

*2026-03-28*

ただ目的もわからない人々が彷徨っているのをダラダラ見せられているだけ。

まったくどうすればいいのかわからない。

### 5/5 — めっちゃ綺麗

*2026-03-04*

映像が良い
全ての選択肢ごとに動画があって、私が物語を作ってくんやーって感じです
800円以上の満足度。

### 4/5 — Free Demo Only

*2026-02-26*

This game seems pretty cool, but the demo is only 20ish minutes long and its $4.99 for the whole game. Maybe if I get the money to buy it I'll try the game but the demo was alright.

### 5/5 — 面白かった

*2026-02-20*

すごく面白かった。2人死なせてしまったけど、カットシーンなども綺麗で、映画を見ているようだった。800円の価値があります

…for anyone who likes FMV Games. I love Horror, i love games and I love movies. And I think it‘s awesome that I can influence the course of the story with my decisions.
The atmosphere and story are exciting and captivating, the music is really great and the acting is pretty good and believable. I really enjoyed the first playthrough and now am looking forward to the next run. This is not an insider tip, it‘s a must-play!
