For something made 10 years ago this is still so unique, creepy and macabre in a way I haven't found in any other game. It's got a sort of weird mix between being dread-inducing but also kind of relaxing to play, it's more like a horror-themed puzzle/exploration game rather than outright scary, but there are certainly chilling moments. The best part of the game is the EVP deciphering, it's so creepy yet satisfying finding the different words/phrases hidden in your recordings, piecing together what happened to the ghost and how it relates to the overall story. It's definitely not perfect by any means, the controls/UI are pretty dated and some of the puzzles feel way too obscure or easily sequence-breakable, especially in the Zoo level. But if you're prepared to deal with a bit of jank, I'd definitely give it a go if you're an indie-horror fan.
