    Looks neat. I'm always a fan of spooky games, even if the gameplay
    seems mostly to be of the "don't look at the monster" type of mechanic
    (mixed with some adventure-gaming tropes). Apparently it was a student
    project; it looks good. I hope they got a passing grade ;-)

    Thanks for the heads up, rms.

    I'm not one for scary games, but I have tons of respect for developers
    who retroactively make their games free after a while.

    I like me some scary games. Few actually are, though... beyond
    jump-scares which are just twitch-triggers. (Small-t twitch, not the
    streaming website thing. The latter triggers me all on its lonesome
    ;-)

    I'll admit that "Resident Evil 7" creeped me out a bit. And I can't
    play "Outlast". That one was a bit much for me. No so much in
    scariness, but sheer and constant intensity... although there were a
    few scenes I could have done without.

    I'm going to try it!

    I am so sick of Resident Evil Requiem now. 9 hours according to
    Steam. The crafting and small inventory (even with the additional
    bags) is too tedious for me. And, I don't think it is a scary as other
    RE games. Well they are all jump scares in each of them, but this
    thing going on with the blind litlle girl is too sick and a PITA
    carrying her around.

    I could use the HD space probably so going to uninstall it now. I do
    not see myself spending any more effort on it, even with walkthroughs.

    Tedious!

    I may install one of the older ones instead.
