What players say

Players describe it as a puzzle game with horror dressing, often comparing the atmosphere to Amnesia. It clocks in at about two to three hours, which many find a welcome change from bloated games. A few jump scares punctuate the unsettling ambiance, and the puzzles are considered clever but not overly punishing, though the fourth level trips some up.
