If your idea of horror is cheap jump scares, gratuitous gore, and slimy monsters trying to eat you around every turn, then you will be disappointed in this game. I’m a horror junkie, and, personally, I don’t think that stuff is scary; I think that stuff is just cheap, tacky, lazy writing and boring, overused, tired nonsense.
The horror in this is a slow burn conceptual story element and it’s a fantastic piece of writing. I mean, yeah the monsters are scary-ish (I don’t scare easily) but the story is the true horror element. If there were ever a good game to turn into a limited run TV series, this would be it. The story is about a woman, who, after preparing her recently deceased adoptive father for his funeral, gets a phone call from some guy who tells her he knows what she is (a medium) and that he needs her to come meet him because the light is almost gone, which is just vague enough to be intriguing. That’s all the story I’m going to give you.
