What players say

Players describe it as a short interactive story or ARG where you explore a simulated desktop to uncover a mystery. Many say it needs a guide for obtuse puzzles and note that the chat-based pacing can feel slow or arbitrary. Opinion is split on whether it is actually scary, with some finding it more detective work than horror.
