Verdict (★★★★★★★★☆☆)
TL does appear to be an intriguing visual novel that proves to be a good choice to sink hours into (At least if you don’t mind the jumpscares). As good as any game can be, it still has its flaws. When it comes to the narrative, it can be rather repetitive and sometimes disappointing.
As much as I love a good text-heavy game, I find that TL is in need of a good old TLC with its script. Still, if you’re in for a good scare and some good old horror along the way, this is definitely right up your alley.
Mentioned games
🕹️ Controls: Controls are easy to understand both keyboard and console its really friendly! i liked it
🎨 Graphics: the pixelated 2d style with good details is very smexy, plus the overall eathetics (the lightning/shadows) the depths and the chrome feelings of mixed horror and psychological precense of this game is very outstanding
📖 Storyline: at first it is a mixed feeling of "what the freak is goin on here?" to "ohh... I see so that's how it is." im hoping that theres more unravelling that happen in this game so far the story line is good.

Nothing interesting horror game.
The voice of the main character does not have any feelings, and it is difficult for the player to immerse in it. The game gives too strong hints, more like a cheat guides than the first-person view.
The deciphering part is too easy. There is a lack of logic between all the puzzles, and the whole process is too short.
The horror atmosphere is like a Halloween store, no necessary to try. Suitable for new players maybe.

This game was almost perfect, featuring a horror story with unique characters, a questionable sense of humor (which, for me, is a good point), great graphics, and atmosphere. However, what heavily impacted the overall rating of this game was the ending. It seemed rushed, not allowing the player enough time to truly feel the emotion. Anyway, it was a great experience playing it, and I would recommend it.
