How it feels

A tense, claustrophobic 2D side-scroller where you solve intricate puzzles while being relentlessly pursued by a serial killer in a retro horror atmosphere.

What players say

Players describe a very short horror escape game set in a serial killer's house that looks like a 2000s flash game. Controls and collision are buggy, with objects thrown wrong or characters freezing, and the killer's AI feels unfair or inconsistent. Reviews split on whether the low price justifies the rough edges.
