While this game is far shorter than Until Dawn, and you play as less characters (only 5 instead of 7), it's still a well thought out game. As with Until Dawn, this game is based on a folklore; and same as Until Dawn - there's a twist. The twist isn't as good as Until Dawn's, but personally I liked it. Everyone is rating this bad because they don't actually understand that this game is based on a folklore of the Ghost Ship called Ourang of Medan, a ship that supposedly existed in 1947 where the crew died under mysterious circumstances. If you have already played this game, I would recommend researching into the tall tale of the Ourang of Medan. If you haven't played the game yet, I would most definitely give it a shot and then look up about the ghost ship. A lot of the secrets you find in the game (without spoiling much *cough*SOS message*cough*), reportedly actually happened. To me, that's what makes this game so much scarier is that it's based on a story that many pertain to be true (however, it may be a hoax). Like I said, play the game and look up the ship to find out how accurate the creators were to this folklore as they were in Until Dawn, it's actually quite interesting.
