Product received for free Banal boring and a lot of empty primitive running left/right (double click "Infinite" run, the meaning in the step disappears). Sometimes too intentionally hidden candles (if you play will understand what I am), but for especially inattentive you can poke a hint as much as you want (appears question in the corner when you start to stew). The Point-and-click genre is justified to the full extent only by the 4 chapter. The Violence against the character is not shown (could squeeze out the interesting animations), while the game is worth the age limit. The animation Itself is Toppornaya, but not the worst. Graphics/Music/sounds are also nothing special. The Game does not even need to pass, because all 6 chapters are immediately open. Not Scary and the location is not impressive. The Plot in general is unclear what and why all this Satanic heresy occurs.
BUT, the total set of factors (though I painted as if everything is quite bad) and the fact of abundance of slag on the Steam, on the background of which the given creation made by one (!) person definitely stands out with its lath of quality (despite the fact that it will pull on 3/5 points) Favors me to put "a Finger up" for efforts and to wish to ask even more a bar of quality for which it is really possible to praise, regardless of Stimo-tresh and comparison with it, if of course hands will get to 2 parts (the ending hints).

UM Yes but no...
It's nice, the atmosphere that emerges and the style are very correct (provided not to be allergic to the green color), but it's too short, I had the impression of having to settle for only a few chips as a meal and unfortunately I have the Slab!!!
The scenario is famelic, the story begins on a scene where a guy gets killed somewhere in the depths of the Woods... What for? What are they doing at this place?? We'll never know.
The music?
euhh... Let's say some notes of ambience, nothing striking or memorable.
The gameplay?
A point and classic click with a few objects to use wisely by digging a little head, some puzzles or rather a single in fact and also easy, then follow the phases of Chase/leak run quite bizarre, the whole is declining in 2D in a "United-green" (very green and dark) horrific with a small pinch of short jumpscares.
The problems encountered?
Well there is a button to load the game but... I did not find how to back up and I did not have any instructions for use or indications that can explain to me how to do. Well we will not take rigor because I did not even have time to tell me Bah I would continue later that the game was already finished.
The movement of the character when it is necessary to run (double click) are very badly screwed and it is annoying especially against the final boss.
The price?
Too high it's clear! €3 it's nothing but for this game it's too much.
In conclusion the experience was not unpleasant in any way, but it was largely lacking in a more worked scenario, a more lively atmosphere music and more chapters/scenes. I have nothing against short-term games but here it is short because sloppy, and it tastes too little.
