I happen to be someone who can get motion sickness from too much shakycam. I'm sure this is a great, scary game for everyone else - I felt the tension and general jumpiness as I started - but unfortunately, the fact the game's screen has some kind of a perpetual vertigo effect filter specifically designed to emulate the POV character being dizzy meant that after about fifteen minutes I had to make my boyfriend do the playing while I watched because I was getting seasick, and fifteen minutes after that I couldn't even look directly at the screen anymore. After trying to pay attention out of the corner of my eye for maybe ten more minutes, I had to recuse myself to the bathroom and throw up my dinner. And we weren't even at any of the scary bits yet.
If you're prone to motion sickness from wobbly visuals, be prepared; this is probably not the game for you. Nothing against the game itself, which I'm sure is lovely, but don't buy it until you're sure you can play it.
Probably great, if only I could play it
