I want to start by stating I was BLOWN away by the absolute quality of this game. I haven't played a game this detailed, engaging, and exciting in a long while. Pick up this game NOW if you're a fan of retro horror, indie horror, Silent Hill, Resident Evil, or any story-driven high-action horror RPG. 1000/10 for this game.

It's 2D pixel horror. The retro feel doesn't take away from the immersion one bit. All AAA game developers need to take note of this game and learn from it. Absolutely worth the price and then some.

This game does have some serious trigger warnings (I'll list as a spoiler) which are listed at the beginning of the game. Nothing is shown specifically on screen besides the blood/gore, but it is mentioned in the documentation you read while exploring the game. TW: human trafficking, kidnapping, sexual assault, rape, eugenics, physical abuse, child abuse.

I absolutely cannot wait for a sequel or more titles from this developer. *throws money at the screen*

PROS:
* Fully voice acted (GREAT voice acting)
* Beautiful pixel graphics
* Beautiful anime style character profile icons
* One of the BEST written horror stories I've seen in a LONG while (I play a LOT of horror)
* Amazing sound design and music which immerses you
* Horrifying and scary monster design
* Auto mapping system and map pickup system (to show full areas of the game)
* Controller friendly and recommended (I used an 8-bit Pro Duo)
* 5 difficulty levels, each explained in detail how they affect the game
* New Game + Mode
* Plenty of save spots & you can save as much as you want (no save tokens to deal with)
* Universal item box to store all extra items
* Plenty of ammo and healing items
* Lengthy game play
* Fun and engaging boss battles

CONS:
* No auto saves (not a big deal and the game warns you ahead of time)
* Limited item space with no bag upgrades (not a big deal since the universal item box system is well done)
* Game does NOT pause while you're in your inventory screen
