How it feels

A bleak and uncomfortable point-and-click journey through deeply personal psychological trauma, with a punishingly grim tone that makes the player feel trapped in a disturbed mind.

What players say

Players call this a deeply disturbing psychological horror that sticks with them, but split on whether it is brilliant or tasteless. The game is short, around 2-3 hours, with very little actual gameplay and mostly a visual novel experience. Its connection to real-life serial killer Albert Fish draws both praise for impact and criticism for exploitation.
