The Event Game Review

The player verdict

The reviewed English all-purchase snapshot is positive: 16 of its 18 reviews are positive and 2 are negative.

Positive players praise the unsettling asylum mystery, atmosphere, sound design, unpredictable scares, and the tension of encounters in which the player can only run or hide.

The puzzles are generally described as relatively easy, clever, and sensible, although one player wanted more lore and another found the graveyard restarts and a no-contact section frustrating.

One negative review criticized the game’s familiar appearance and alleged that it relied heavily on store-bought assets.
