Ratings and reviews

The game isn't really all that compelling from a gameplay or story perspective; the controls don't always work and your speed meter doesn't refill, which is inconvenient for chases. The story is sad but it's very bare bones- we don't see much into the main characters feelings about her situation like anger, resentment, mistrust, or really even general trauma except running away from the men and being saved by others. There's a lot that could and should be improved on in general - from tiktok

I want to like the game, i really want to. Ive been following their Instagram for a while and downloaded it to help support. But the game mechanics really need tweaked on, after willows nightmare its literally impossible not to die when following the tall lady. I tried 8+ times and my fearbar wouldnt stop moving. I bet it would be a fun game to play after some things get messed with

The game is wonderful story-wise. However, I cannot get over just how bad the controls are. You need to play the game with three hands most of the time to be able to press the forwards, sprint, and jump button. Once you get to the level "Willow's Anxiety," you might as well quit and uninstall, because it is almost impossible to beat. Half of the times you press the jump button, the character doesn't jump and there are way too many "gotcha" moments. It makes me more frustrated than anxious.
