Any horror elements to the game?
Im not a huge fan of horror games, or scary stuff in general. That's why i want to know before i get this game.

No horror, no gameplay, you just walk and listen, it is like a movie, 1h30
It is not a "normal game", it is not really a game. and i like it

I am the same and do not like jumpscares and that kind of stuffs, I'm glad to say there are no jumpscares within this game, the entire time of my first playthrough I was expecting some jumpscares but they don't come, which was a pleasant surprise, it is an extremely creepy game in places due to it's fantastic sound design but nothing scary so you're safe.
Play the game in one sitting, I'd recommend experiencing it with someone else as I did, makes for a great discussion afterward.

There's a David Lynch-like feeling of creeping dread at times, usually due to your typical modern-art background drone, backwards sound effects here and there etc., it has that eerie and haunting feel a lot of abstract modern art does, mostly in the audio, though the last level's visually pretty creepy too. There was one moment when some stage lights came on and the sound made me jump, but that's as far as this goes.

Ah yes, this made me jump because of how loud the sound was combined with the moments leading up to it.

Yeah, one or two moments like this are the only "jump scares" in the game.

Sometimes, the ambience can cause you to feel a little stressed but thats unintentional i think. It's no horror game that's for sure.

This game has no horror in it whatsoever. Abstract and non-sensical environments yes, but not horror.
