« Great game, last act was kinda whatever. Runs very well on Steam Deck. Anyway, I personally think GabeN should be put in prison for holding Campo Santo's next game hostage. It's been 8 years Valve, give me In The Valley of Gods! »

« Short game, but the dialogue was very good and the story was compelling. I don't want to spoil anything, but it is worth the time to play. Just sit down when everyone else is in bed, put on headphones and spend 4 hours in the wilds. »
