Bil's story doesn't throw you into gloomy realms filled with wandering souls nor creepy mansions where hoards of zombies are meandering menacingly, no, it offers the horror value
in a much sublte way.
Just few pen strokes do convey shaky child's hand, scribbling sketchy characters and naive thoughts. This game more reminds of spooky story you can listen to if hide in the bed at first-graders party, with flashlight under the blanket, boo!
Well, I caught most scary moment when suddenly my LAV Audio Codec icon popped out few slides before the sound(you know it's always scary knowing about horror beforehand and waiting for it). For that-one-image-in-the-whole-game-which-has-color, it's rather...unsetting, huh. I guess it should be, anyway.
Something: unsetting vibes, "children horror", Best Mom Award 2019
Nothing: player's choice really doesn't matter, not even a little(but that has some charm too, inevitability), text loading is a bit chucky
