HORROR CENTRALITY
82 /100

Core experience centers on fear, dread, vulnerability, and moral dilemmas under a time-limited plague. While there are diagnostic and town-management mechanics, the gameplay aims to induce psychological horror and shape the player's emotions and choices, not primarily combat or action.
