How it feels

A tense, atmospheric puzzle-driven escape through a dark and surreal first-person world steeped in mystery and psychological dread.

What players say

Players are split on the puzzle difficulty: some find them too easy and the horror humorous, while others call them too hard and frustrating. There is broad disappointment with the ending, which several reviewers say is unsatisfying or awkward. The atmosphere of the old house is praised, and the game relies on time pressure and jump scares.
