How it feels

A tense solo trek through claustrophobic ancient spaces, viewed through a static camera lens, driven by a desperate search for a missing friend.

What players say

Players say it takes about 30 minutes to finish, with a bad ending reported. The game looks good to some but others call it ugly for an Unreal Engine 5 title. It has an out-of-bounds glitch that skips the game, and the flashlight can crash the game.
