Reviews

“SLACKJAW is an unnervingly atmospheric escape-room horror game that proves less can be more — especially when “less” means stripping away filler and delivering pure tension. It’s short, yes, and its puzzles are accessible rather than mind-bending, but its combination of true-crime inspiration, unsettling realism, and clever interactive touches make it a must-try for fans of P.T., Visage, and escape-room thrillers. If you can accept the brief runtime and approach it as an intense, one-sitting experience, you’ll find yourself holding your breath, straining to hear the killer’s footsteps, and savoring every creak of the floorboards above. – Obsidian”
