How it feels
A tense, nightmarish side-scroller where you wander a surreal cabin, evading an unknown threat while solving puzzles to survive until dawn.

What players say
Players praise the atmosphere and sound design for creating genuine dread, but strongly criticize the repetitive, RNG-dependent gameplay that becomes frustrating near the end. The game is described as more of an experience than a traditional game, with an obscure story and unfair difficulty late in its life.
