How it feels

A solitary, tense puzzle of survival and investigation on a silent, alien world, with a lingering sense of dread.

What players say

Players consistently praise this as a faithful remake of a beloved Flash game, calling it a short and nostalgic sci-fi point-and-click adventure. Many note the voice acting is awkward but charming, and while the puzzles are logical and the story builds intrigue, most agree the 2-4 hour length makes the full price hard to justify without a sale.
