This game is absolutely beautiful. The game took around 3 hours to complete, and is well worth the purchase (this is coming from someone who hesitates on purchasing games) The story, graphics, and gameplay all come together into one perfect horror game. I love it, the best horror game I've played on a mobile app to this day. Thank you.

So, I don't purchase the full game because of one thing- I think the demo should be a little longer, we haven't really experienced a breath-taking away horror moment and so I don't know what to expect. But what I played so far is extremely good. One of the best horror I had played on mobile in fact. The art style, the environment, the music, the color vibrant and everything were on point.

Intriguing and intense! Starts off as a seemingly paranormal horror that turns into something more psychological. Amazing graphics and creative use of scenes and storylines. I appreciated the Tawainese history and spiritual side. Puzzles are a mix of straightforward to complex. It's a very heavy game (Maybe borderline depressing to some) I finished with the true ending and it was emotional. The breath-holding double tap parts are inconsistent and awkward, but that's all. Overall, well done!

Highly recommend purchasing it, the game offers much more than its price. I played this back in 2017. I just played it again and was reminded of how well the themes were executed with it's layered story telling. The fact that it was based off of White Terror only makes it terrifyingly surreal, knowing that such an environment existed. Going back and playing it again to pick up on those little details and connecting the dots to the real backstory only enhances the experience. A timeless play.

Fun, emotional, and immersive. It's worth it buying the full game. The puzzles are challenging and still can be enjoyable. The graphics are beautiful, the story is great, and the flow is straightforward. One thing that annoys me, though, is that when I minimise the game, the sound will cut off, and the only way to get it back is by closing the game. But either then that it's a well done game.

I liked the demo but it was too short, so was reluctant to buy, but eventually did. Wow man I was seriously sleeping on this masterpiece! The controls are fine, but the visuals, the art style and the background environment is very beautifully designed. Audio quality in this game is so well put that it alone is enough for creeps. But the real winner is the story,It required me to replay it again to understand it. And I am still awestruck and sad. I really hope that you make more games like this.

Absolutely phenomenal game, beautiful artwork and graphics, stunning narrative, and sublime soundtrack. Only issue is I've been trying to install the game on my Samsung S23 device but it is not working. Every time I try to open the game, it crashes. Please fix!

Amazing, just simply Amazing. This game gave me a good example of what horror really is about. The story is incredibly interesting, everything from the visuals, the puzzles to how it utilizes every bit of detail is nothing but spectacular. It really does a good job on showing what power, and twisted affection is capable of. This experience has changed how I view the both, drastically.

What a game! Everything about this game is near perfection. The atmosphere, puzzles, soundtracks and more over, the story. I thought it was a bit expensive but it was definitely worth it. Had to play two times get the "good ending" and it was quite emotional. This was rather a phenomenal written story than a horror game. I have somany words to explain this masterpiece but I'm concluding here.

Wow! I wasn't sure about downloading at 1st but I'm SO glad I did! Even though it's a demo, it's crazy how quickly you're pulled into the story. Incredible graphics and no glitching. Also, spot-on mood music that truly elevates the creep factor (which begins growing within u immediately upon beginning). Without spoiling things I'll say this- what u see right before the demo stops (the artwork of a 'paranormal nature' shown on the scroll the girl starts reading) is INSANE. Can't wait to purchase!

The style was very unique and well made. The characters are realistic and well drawn, including the environment. The game was very eerie and gave off a very scary vibe. Even though I didn't buy the full version I think the demo was a really good way to pull the player in. I totally recommend this game to anyone who likes point and click style horror games because there's so much you can interact with so much to see and so much to do in just the demo.

The ONLY thing keeping my rating from being perfect is a very annoying bug that mutes the game when I minimize the app and open it back up. This only happens when Im using headphones. Otherwise this is a STELLAR game, great gameplay, intuitive controls, a great story and atmosphere, good soundtrack. Well worth the 5 bucks.

AMAZING! I only played the demo as of right now, but once i can i will buy the full version very soon. The very little i played was smoth, nice game play. No bugs, glitches or anything like that. (After playing full) Buying the full version was 100% worth it, if you have a old phone like me there will be 1 spot that will get laggy for a bit but thats the only flaw, game was amazing and i would love to see another like it. Very fun experince with a spooky sense to it.

This game was really refreshing. Even though I played it later on after its release. It felt like a brand new experience. There were some really good scary/gory parts. And good monsters too, though being about three monsters. The puzzles were great too. I have Nothing bad to say about this game. I cant say much about the "psychological" parts, cause im dumb and dont understand most things. But anyways, just get the game. Its cheap and awesome.

Compelling and profound story with a very relevant message. Dark. This is more like an atmosphere building playable story, so if you're expecting some kind of hack and slash game this is not it. Beautiful and original music. Great mystery and sensation of loneliness throughout. My complaints are very small; I do wish the game was a bit longer, and the game for some reason absolutely tears up my battery, which I'm not sure why because it seems like a mechanically simple game. Try it!

Its a great point and click horror game. The atmosphere is well done and creepy, the story is good, the puzzles are challenging, overall a great game. Some of the puzzles seem tedious, difficult, and sometimes confusing. Thats what makes it great though is the challenge, its definitely worth the $4.99 for the full game.

WORTH THE MONEY AND AMAZING. I played the demo and couldn't wrap my head around how truly exciting just that bit was and bought the game. No regrets at all. Truly amazing story with many puzzles and difficulties you may find along the way. The suspense is the best part, weather is strikes fear or curiosity in you, you still want to keep playing. Both endings got the sensitive part out of me. Truly amazing overall and would DEFINITELY recommend to anyone who likes horror/story based games.

It starts off good. Scary, and decent albeit easy puzzles. My other gripes in the beginning are it's easy to avoid enemies, there aren't enough of them, and the lack of enemy variety. After a certain point, the game just becomes an interactive movie with a few mostly weak puzzles thrown in. If you aren't into the story at this point, it's tedious. The story is, however, creatively and artistically expressed in many details. It's a good game if you enjoy stories over gameplay.

What can I say? Amazing game! I don't usually play these style games, since I find games with puzzles to be monotonous, but this was a genuinely enjoyable experience. The puzzles were tough but fair, and didn't feel too repetitive. The story line is amazing. I can't say much about it without giving spoilers, but progressing through the game and unfolding the story was fun. I loved the art, and the whole creepy atmosphere of the school was well executed! If you can, I recommend buying!

Originally played this on Steam. I was a bit curious to see how the game holds up on mobile and it fares well. The controls aren't confusing and it runs great. No hiccups. I fell in love with the story/lore and the time period and setting of the game is.. Something (don't want to give anything away). It's a definite must-play for folks who enjoy mystic horror and Silent Hill-esque puzzle solving. The full game is extremely affordable ($4.99). Play the game before watching the Netflix adaptation.
