The lousy voice acting and unconvincing character models will provide further reason for them to throw in the towel early, too. However, if you’re a fan of old-fashioned survival horrors and find yourself yearning for one that offers a modern lick of paint and a new setting, there’s a very high chance you’ll absolutely love it. It’s not as good as the classics of the genre, but developers Dual Effect and Abstract Digital have delivered something that is hot on their heels.","2025-01-26T19:02:41.53762-05:00",{"id":234,"logo":248,"name":249,"slug":250,"tags":251,"bluesky":252,"twitter":250,"youtube":253,"facebook":254,"mastodon":26,"muckrack":26,"claimed_at":26,"description":255,"website_url":256,"score_format":43,"average_score":148,"default_timezone":45,"last_review_date":26,"stats_updated_at":73,"headquarters_city":26,"news_editor_email":257,"platforms_covered":26,"claimed_by_user_id":26,"reviews_this_month":17,"active_authors_count":17,"headquarters_country":258,"reviews_editor_email":257,"editor_in_chief_email":257,"published_authors_count":17,"published_reviews_count":17},"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FGameSpew-Logo.jpg","GameSpew","gamespew","[  \n  'independent',\n  'women_led',\n  'online_media'\n  ]","gamespew.com","UChqYxsfGxsXwrZ76wm7_bWQ","officialgamespew","Your independent site for gaming news, reviews, features, guides and more.
