a tense and desperate survival horror where you stealthily explore an abandoned prison while being hunted, with your only hope being to escape and uncover the mystery.

What players say

Players call it a short horror game that takes under an hour, with no combat and stealth as the core mechanic. The atmosphere and voice acting get praise, while reviewers compare it to a budget Outlast. There is disagreement on difficulty: some find it very easy, others find it scary enough to stop playing.
