How it feels

You creep through a warping, decaying mansion, solving cryptic puzzles while a lurking presence watches your every move.

What players say

Players say the game is short, around 15 to 20 minutes, and its puzzles are easy. Many are surprised by a chatbot interaction near the end that seems unrelated to the rest of the game, and they feel the game has no proper conclusion. A few note it works fine on Steam Deck.
