How it feels

You feel helplessly tethered to a stranger's survival, anxiously speaking commands into a headset as you guide her through a dark, hostile space hotel.

About

A survival horror where you play as the operator by verbally guiding the protagonist, Rio, through the dangers of an alien invasion on a space hotel. You are locked in the monitor room with remote access to computers and cameras, through which you can follow Rio. You two must navigate the perils and find your girlfriend, Naomi. Almost all gameplay is by voice activation through a headset.
