Our take on Sleep Paralysis: The Uncanny Valley
The repeating loop keeps the experience closely tied to Thomas’ story, but gives less room for varied gameplay structures. Progress also depends on investigating clues and solving puzzles, so players seeking a combat-centered horror game may find that focus limiting.
