What an amazing atmospheric puzzle game! This strikes the perfect balance between great puzzles, approachable, atmospheric horror, and great writing!
Pros:
Visuals - Suuuuper solid. You have to have a bit of an appreciation for that "lo-fi" pixel aesthetic, which I have a ton of appreciation for it. However, what really helps this game stand out is that it hits the middle of the road of pixelation and finer details. For example, you can see the handprints on the computer monitors and the scratches on a shiny surface.
Sounds - Squelchy squishy sounds make my skin crawl and this game does it well. There's a lot of odd sounds that create a bit of unease and this is probably where a decent chunk of the horror element is going to come from.
Horror - Very atmospheric. Great example of a game that doesn't need jumpscare after jumpscare to get you. It's hard to say this is straight up a horror game, but the undertones are 100% there and it's a great balance.
Story - The writing is beautifully done. The little stories you find laying around are creepy and something you might see in SCP or something rather. The little pop culture references weren't lost on me either =D The main story was clear, but just slightly abstract enough to appreciate and not completely insult your intelligence.
Puzzle - again, a great balance between difficult and for babies. Every puzzle was satisfying and felt like I needed to think a bit to get the solution. I mean, I'm a little dumb, but I got the puzzles...eventually.
Cons - I NEED MORE. I NEED IT ALL!

Seriously bravo.
