About
You might like this if you enjoy grim, contained horror with cult paranoia, home-under-siege tension, and a bleak mood in the vein of Jessabelle; Not for you if you need smart decisions, deeper backstory, or a lighter ride.
Pros: creepy masked cultists; tense siege setup; strong atmosphere | Cons: weak dialogue; frustrating choices; thin story
