Description from the publisher · source

How it plays

It is played from a first person perspective. Its themes are horror. It is a single-player game with no multiplayer component.

What you need to run it

The minimum specification calls for Intel Core i5-4460 / AMD FX-6300, 16 GB RAM and NVIDIA GTX 1060 / AMD RX 580 (6 GB VRAM). A 16GB memory requirement is demanding — worth checking before you buy, because 8GB is still common in older and budget machines. Install size is roughly 15GB. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
