How it feels

You navigate the crushing dark of an abandoned mine by throwing small orbs of light, each brief flash revealing threats and clues in a tense, lonely search for your father.

What players say

Players praise the light orb mechanic as a fresh twist on horror exploration, but they split on the lack of a map and confusing navigation through the mines. It is a short game, around 30-60 minutes, with creative jumpscares and an unsettling atmosphere, though the story is minimal.
