Fantastic short horror game - incredibly atmospheric and quite scary on your first playthrough. Subsequent playthroughs (probably necessary for the true ending/100% achievements unless you're really thorough the first time) lose a bit of the fear because you understand the game mechanics better, but the first playthrough is magic. Highly recommend, and it blows my mind this game is free

I really liked the locations in the game. And the last rooms with puzzles reminded me of installations at a 21st-century contemporary art center. Bit by bit, you piece together a complete story, leafing through the pages of scholastic memories and fragments of searches related to this particular library.

The atmosphere and story are top-shelf. It's absolutely drenched in cosmic horror, and there are some pretty funny references, too (any game with Office Space references is a win in my book). At certain points, there are eyeballs popping out of the walls and/or floors, and they are ALWAYS WATCHING YOU, it was actually a little unsettling. Sometimes, there are grabbyass hands, too... ENNNNNHHH DON'T TOUCH ME.
