The normal people who have reviewed this game, have already mentioned all the important points of the gameplay, so instead of a normal one, this will be more of a gushing "review" than anything else.

Now where do I even start?

Alright! I'm starting from the horror elements in the story. From the very start, from the very first moment, there was a feeling of uneasiness and uncertainty in the air for the reader and the protagonist. The letter was too vague, and we were going somewhere to help Edward with something we had no idea of. It was beautiful to see the quick escalation from uneasiness, to suspense and finishing with creepiness in Chapter 3.

What really enhanced the horror atmosphere, were without a shadow of a doubt, the visuals. The chosen color palette, the journal... The creepy and helpful journal... *shudder
Anyway,props to the creators!

As for Edward: He is truly deserving of his title "Thirst trap". I never thought, I'd fall so hard, so fast for him. Even tried different playthroughs, to try different routes, but NOPE! My finger kept clicking on the "Protagonist and Edward had a past" and "Be as soft as possible in every given chance" choices every single time. Help me, I can't escape this loop! DAMN YOU AUTHORS! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME?!

Don't get me started on the: MAZE! The amazingly addicting and annoying maze. Do you have any idea how many times I've died and retraced the steps?! And why?! Just so I can collect all of 'em deadly numbers. Wierd hobby, I know. It's the authors' fault though, not mine (I refuse to take the blame for it). But as a side note, I've also exited the maze safely many times, so don't worry about it being nearly impossible to complete.

If you read until the end of this gushing "review" (then kudos to you for your patience), don't forget to give the game a try.
