About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you like historical mysteries with eerie folklore, village secrets, and a steady investigation vibe similar to The Pale Blue Eye; Not for you if you want nonstop scares or brisk pacing.
Pros: gripping mystery; beautiful scenery and costumes; strong atmosphere | Cons: uneven pacing; stiff dialogue at times; lighter scares than expected
