Dinsun Review
I’ve played 'Granny,' I’ve played 'Hello Neighbor,' and now I’ve played this. It’s the same stressful loop of hiding in closets and waiting for an AI to turn its back. The premise—escaping your parents after a bad report card—is relatable, I suppose, but the execution is purely mechanical. The parents don't feel like characters; they feel like patrolling guards with a 'game over' proximity sensor.
The stealth mechanics are inconsistent. Sometimes you're caught through a wall, and other times you can stand right behind them without a reaction. It lacks the polish required for a game where precision is everything. For an older gamer, this feels like 'Panic: The Simulator.' It’s more stressful than it is fun. If you like this specific sub-genre of mobile stealth-horror, you’ll find it competent enough, but it brings absolutely nothing new to the table.
