How it feels

A slow, tense exploration of icy ruins where story and dialogue drive the atmosphere of dread and mystery.

What players say

Players describe it as a very short visual novel with beautiful art and music but almost no interactivity, where story choices barely matter and lead to three endings in about 90 minutes. The game nails Lovecraft's cosmic horror, though some find the writing derivative and the lack of voice acting a letdown.
