How it feels

A tense cat-and-mouse escape where you manage limited stamina and inhaler puffs while hiding from a stylized, cartoony friend who grows stronger.

What players say

Players praise the tense atmosphere and absence of cheap jump scares. The game is considered very challenging, with difficult puzzles and a rewarding upgrade system between rounds, though some note janky movement.
