Weakest of the Christmas games I have played this year. Graphics are top notch. But the creature is a lame, small fry. The ending though hahahahahahahahahaha. It is so horrifically bad that it is memorable I have to say. Me and my son were in disbelief and then just started laughing. its bonkers. Just about recommended. Close to thumbs down though overall.

I was actually excited to play this game. But turned out to be slow and the mechanics not so great. Do not get me started on the Cat.

What a weirdo... If I ran into a guy like that in real life, I’d sue the hell out of him. Aside from that, it was fine.
Cool Game as JustTomcuk kills the atmosphere in most of his games and sets the mood well. The jump scares was nasty work! I enjoyed the game just not the ending so much. Game Rating 7/10 My Playthrough https://youtu.be/inPIJTNs4qE?si=yBcZptmgOLBuRJnF
