How it feels

A disorienting and introspective nightmare where you switch between a decaying world and a lab, solving puzzles while confronting the dread of a failed experiment.

What players say

Players praise the dual gameplay style, switching between first-person exploration and a Resident Evil-style tank-control section, but note it is very short at around one hour. They are split on the enemy: some find the creature's hitboxes unclear or say it gets stuck, while others call it scary. The card-based puzzles are widely considered creative.
