Pros
Pro Unsettling atmosphere
The game has unnerving sound design and dream-like, uncanny valley level design that help create a world of both wonder and creepiness.
Pro A unique premise
The game is played from a toddler's point of view. And the POV change creates an interesting, disjointed experience that has both narrative and gameplay implications.
Pro Well-crafted unsettling atmosphere
Everything from the games monochromatic level-design that's somewhat unwelcoming and sound design that consists of whispers to a brooding soundtrack and implied threat that's both ever-present and maybe even nonexistent comes together to create an atmosphere of unease.
Cons
Con DK1 support only
Not compatible with the Oculus Rift DK2
Con Abrupt ending
The game ends somewhat unsatisfyingly.
Con Can be disorienting
The game often will use low or no lighting, making it difficult to see, joined with music that makes you feel out of place due to a weird rhythm and overall the game may make players feel disorientated.
