Toruk's Take
Good grief. Look, panning your character sharply to the right and adding a jump scare noise does not a horror game make. I was ready to give the game points for it's rich diegetic sound but then they had to go and get gimmicky on us. Which makes me seriously question the strength of the game.
All that said, Meh...I hope the game is better than this trailer. Way better.
