How it feels

A frantic fight for survival in a decaying, horror-filled swamp where you solve puzzles under pressure while fending off flesh-crazed creatures.

What players say

Players praise the oppressive swamp-and-forest atmosphere but are split on the constant chaser: some find it stressful, others disappointing. The short length, simple puzzles, and camera-with-film defense are repeatedly noted, while the lack of a save point frustrates some.
