The tension built by the environment is often broken by unnecessary chatter. - Silence can be more terrifying than words, yet the game fails to embrace this. - Environmental storytelling is rich, but the voiceovers dilute the impact.

Until then, it remains a visually stunning adventure that overexplains itself. For more insights, check out the full review here. In its current state, it misses the mark on delivering true horror.
