How it feels

A tense, narrative-driven survival horror set in a desolate 19th-century asylum, leaving the player feeling disoriented and isolated.

What players say

Players praise the atmosphere, art, and story, calling it a solid free survival horror game that feels complete. The game is very short, under two hours, and has a nostalgic feel for older horror games. Bugs are common, especially hitbox issues with enemies and a non-functional boss fight, and some players find the combat frustrating with a lack of dodge or reliable gun mechanics.
