- The Butcher's Village is an absolute masterclass in tension. The sound design alone had me looking over my shoulder every five minutes. The Butcher is one of the scariest antagonists I've faced in years!
- A fantastic indie horror title. It captures the vibe of classic horror movies while feeling fresh. The puzzles are well-integrated into the environment and never feel out of place.
- I loved the storytelling. It doesn't hold your hand, and finding the notes makes the world feel alive and terrifying. Highly recommended for fans of Resident Evil and Outlast.
- The graphics are stunning for a small studio. The lighting effects in the fog create such a thick atmosphere of dread. It's short, but every minute is high quality.
- An excellent survival horror experience. The stealth mechanics are solid, and the AI keeps you on your toes. Truly a hidden gem in the horror genre.
