"Ad Infinitum is notable for being a psychological horror set against a backdrop of World War I. If you can forgive the derivative gameplay, the game does its job well."

"Ad Infinitum deals in many types of horror, often skewering expectations. Though rough around the edges and packing unremarkable puzzles, the terrifying truths of its real-world scares offer more captivating chills than its monster-focused moments."
