This is another cheap entry into the "[i]collect-items-while-avoiding-a-monster[/i]" horror genre. It is from an indie dev, done in first-person view, and the monster is a skinless corpse. Although it is described on it's Store Page as "[i]horror[/i]", I would not categorize this game as true horror. I did not find it scary at all. Somewhat suspenseful, yes, but not scary at all.
However, I would call it a pretty good cat-&-mouse stealth game, and a good puzzle. There is no background, and no story. You just start out in a locked room in a house. You must search the room for the key to unlock the door. Then you avoid the skinless corpse and race upstairs to find an item. Then you race back downstairs to find an item. Rinse and repeat 15 to 20 times.
Most of items are keys, and usually the item you get helps you in some way to get the next item. You can only carry 1 item at a time, so there is exactly 1 specific order in how you must progress, and figuring out this specific order is the puzzle. The whole time you are running back and forth between upstairs and downstairs, this skinless corpse patrols throughout the entire house.
There is a giant wardrobe closet in every room ([i]except the greenhouse[/i]) for you to hide in. This game takes a lot of patience, as you will spend a lot of time inside those closets, learning the corpse's route and timing it. You can usually progress by 1 or 2 items at a time, then you have to hide for a minute or two. If you ever lose track of where he is, [b]then stay hidden[/b] and watch.
The corpse walks at a deliberate reasonable speed as he normally patrols, but moves at lightning speed once he sees you and locks onto your position. If he sees you, then an eye icon lights up in the bottom right corner of your screen. If he comes around a corner and catches a glimpse of you going around another corner or going into a wardrobe, you will probably be okay.
However, if he catches sight of you out in the open, you are dead. When I said he moves at lightning speed, I was not kidding. It's like he teleports to you. Also, this is perma-death. When you die, you have to start completely over back in that first room. So, between your deaths, you will have a lot of trial and error figuring out in which order to collect the items and open the doors.
Another thing is that when you learn his route, it is only temporary. Every time you open a door into a new room, he will change his route slightly to now patrol the new room too. You need to be aware of every route change. There are two endings, so you will have to play through twice to get all of the achievements. However, the achievements do not count on your Profile.
Also, there are neither trading cards, nor Point Shop items, so once you get all of the achievements, there is no replayability. The game should take between 4.0 to 5.0 hours to get both endings and all of the achievements. Also, since the game is meant to be completed in one session, there are no manual saves. The game ran perfectly fine too. I experienced no bugs or glitches.
