Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
- Overpriced (I know how hard it is to make a game, especially one with different puzzles, but this is a $10 game that lasts for 2-3 hours only with zero replayability)

Audio

From the sound effects to the lighting to the graphics, The Guest captures a certain atmosphere and doesn’t let go of it.
