7/10 - Solid horror game with a few major issues, (40 - 60 mins), I genuinely would've given this game a higher review if it wasn't for a few big things. Before I go into them, this game deserves to be praised as it has a very interesting setup and main mechanic. As you're hired as an intern to record ghost tapes using a weird little gadget, this results in some occurences...

The games visuals, atmosphere and setting are all really well done. As it captures a solid combination of all those things which resulted in me having very high expectations of what to expect through the game. Although those didn't disappoint I do wish the world was either slightly condensed by making it smaller or making it so you could enter some buildings such as the church, cabins or town which would make the world feel more alive. However for the scope of the game these aren't necessary but would make the game feel tighter or more interesting. 

The gameplay loop worked well and it definitely caught me out when you first go out on an expedition which is better to be experienced by the player than be said by me. The horror in this game varies from little things such as how your boss acts at times to bigger things from something else that keeps you on your toes. The ending was also good but expected from my end but it can definitely catch some people out if you didn't pay attention.

Now down to the biggest issue with this game which was to do with STAMINA, this game was infuriating to play at times as after 5 seconds of sprinting your character was already out of breath and then it would take a while for the stamina to replenish which resulted in travelling across this map being frustrating, this was additionally annoying especially against the "encounters" you come across. This was my biggest frustration throughout the whole game but there were some other issues but the other big one was glitches. I encountered a glitch such as when I died whilst returning the tape in the box. I had an even bigger one where I had completed all 4 tapes but then the game continued and it only showed that I completed the 4th tape after I died!
