How it feels

A slow, atmospheric point-and-click mystery with pixel art and a philosophical, Lovecraftian tone.

What players say

Players describe this as a retro point-and-click with a strong Alone in the Dark and Lovecraft influence. The pixel art and sound design create a creepy atmosphere, but navigation and camera controls frustrate many. Multiple reviews mention a game-breaking bug in chapter 3, and the puzzles can be obscure enough to require the included official guide.
