Ninety-eight percent of players still hold it in glowing light after launch, with nearly every facet praised. Yet the playtime data reveals a striking gap: over a quarter of them never made it past two hours, even as those who dug deeper raved endlessly.

What it's about: Vous avez acheté une ferme isolée pour commencer une nouvelle vie. Mais votre paisible quotidien vole en éclats lorsque les terribles secrets de l’ancien propriétaire refont surface depuis les profondeurs de la terre. Un jeu d’horreur rural à l’atmosphère lente, oppressante et inquiétante.
