nah it’s more eerie than scary, lots of paranoia, weird sci-fi vibes and the choices actually matter which is rare for games like this
my Switch fan went full jet mode during one mission, game was like “you want atmosphere? how about overheating”
my Switch fan kicked in so hard it felt like it was about to take off
chernobylite? more like chernobylight-speed
