Our take on Child Phobia: Nightcoming Fears
Players who expect a single, fixed storyline may hit the main sticking point when moral choices begin steering the plot toward different branches and endings. The day-and-night shift also means the experience moves between family drama and nightmare exploration rather than staying in one mode.
