How it feels

Cautiously navigating a dark island, using only a flashlight to freeze creatures while relying on sound to avoid danger.

What players say

Players describe a tense stealth game where you freeze enemies by shining a light on them, but the battery drains fast and recharging is noisy. The minimalist ASCII art style is praised, while controls are called fiddly and a gamepad is considered essential. Players split on difficulty, with some saying even easy mode is challenging.
