Walking simulators as horror are always a bit weird, but I can understand why some people appreciate them. In the case of Rise of Insanity what will make or break the experience is how engaged you manage to be in what forms its story, and beat by beat getting more insight to what happened as you also try to determine the nature of your character’s obvious issues. Periodic moments of suspense, “did I just see...?”, and a few jump scares await but on the whole this is still a rudimentary first-person puzzle game that offers challenges here and there but whose overall design can lack in polish at times. While it may not be the best of its type on the Switch it at least still manages to distance itself from the weaker games on the spectrum.
