  • Shooter
  • Horror
  • Action

A shooter with a Japanese horror streak: you slow down time to win firefights against soldiers who flank you and take cover, while Alma, a girl in a red dress, haunts you through visions. Two expansions are included.

Why play it now

When you want a main campaign of around 12 hours of slow-motion tactical firefights in an unsettling atmosphere.

Who it's for

For anyone who wants to fight AI that flanks and takes cover, with horror built on atmosphere over scares.

When not to pick it

If repetition wears you down: many levels are offices and corridors that look much alike.

What it offers

  • Combat / action: 85 out of 100
  • Story: 50 out of 100
  • Thinking: 35 out of 100
