How it feels

You trudge through a dim, abandoned house as a pest exterminator, collecting rats and finding keys in a short, straightforward walk punctuated by a final monster encounter.

What players say

A short horror game that is well-regarded for its low price. Players mention two endings, a repetitive basement map seen in other games, and a difficulty from having to restart entirely upon death. Some find the task of finding rats tedious, and interaction is mostly limited to a crowbar.
