About
You might like this if you enjoy grim, mysterious horror with a psychological edge, especially if Cure or Suicide Club worked for you; Not for you if sleep-related terror and self-harm themes are dealbreakers.
Pros: unsettling premise; strong mystery hook; dream-horror setup | Cons: suicide theme; very bleak mood; limited plot details
