How it feels

A tense, first-person blend of mundane job tasks and supernatural dread, where staying alive and following orders clashes with eerie exploration.

What players say

Players love the absurd forklift segment, calling it cursed and hilarious, but many get stuck there due to glitchy physics and a lack of guidance. Despite finding multiple bad endings, they feel they missed the horror content and note the game lacks subtitles.
