I have known this game for years. It was big among various latinoamerican youtubers, and it was a game you knew no matter what! it definitely got my attention once I begin to get more interested in horror stuff, I also felt like I needed to try it out, because at this point it was a classic.
Bought it at the beggining of 2026, scared to open it and play even if it had costed me a good amount. When I finally did, I ended up getting obsessed over playing it at night, even if it was only for a couple of minutes.
