Review

The Horror at Highrook attempts to strike a balance between atmospheric storytelling and engaging gameplay, but it often falters under the weight of its ambitions. The graphics are undoubtedly the standout feature, drawing players into a haunting world that’s visually rich and creatively designed. The storyline, filled with twists and turns, keeps players on edge and invested in the characters' fates. Unfortunately, the gameplay mechanics often feel sluggish, which can impede immersion during crucial moments. Pacing issues plague the experience, leading to sections that drag and diminish the overall tension. Additionally, the limited range of enemies encountered leaves much to be desired in terms of variety, which hurts the game's replayability. Overall, while The Horror at Highrook has the potential to be a memorable horror title, its shortcomings may limit its appeal to genre enthusiasts.
