The WhatsNext verdict

For Fans of bite-sized psychological horror games that subvert innocent and cute aesthetics.: The contrast between an apparently cheerful mascot premise and creeping psychological horror creates a memorable, unsettling experience. Tradeoff: The brief runtime and reliance on narrative shock mean there is minimal reason to revisit once completed.

  • Navigating the pitch-black forest with a flashlight builds a surprisingly creepy tension
