How it feels

A tense and gory exploration through a secure corporate building, with a creeping sense of dread and psychological unease.

What players say

Players praise the atmosphere but are split on the gameplay. The office setting and the mysterious black cloud enemy create tension, but frustration comes from trial-and-error sequences, insta-kill mechanics, and a spotty checkpoint system. Many note the game is short, around 1-3 hours, and worth the low price point.
