The early access community has been vocal. Reddit user u/DrowningMan_42 posted: "I have played every horror game from P.T. to Visage. Wet Nightmares v2.0 made me cry. Not from sadness. From sheer, primal, 'I don't want to open that door' fear. The moment the game changed my desktop wallpaper to a picture of the monster, I uninstalled. I reinstalled 20 minutes later."
Conversely, some critics argue that v2.0 crosses the line from "immersive" to "invasive." The game’s ability to read your system clock and deliberately trigger "real-time" events (e.g., an in-game clock that matches your local 3:00 AM for a scripted scare) has been called "psychological malware" by one Steam reviewer.
But that is the point. Wet Nightmares v2.0 hates you. It hates your comfort. And that is precisely why it is brilliant. Wet Nightmares v2.0

Unlike its predecessor, which was localized to specific hydrological vectors, WNv2 exhibits properties of aggressive atmospheric saturation and acute psychological contagion.
