How it feels

You are alone in a dim, silent guard post, nervously scanning for randomly appearing anomalies while your only companion sleeps.

What players say

Players are split on the game's clarity: some quit in frustration because the game never explains how to deal with ghosts, while others enjoy figuring out each ghost's unique counter. It requires surviving ten real-time minutes in a Korean military guard post, and reviews consistently mention the stress of also keeping a senior soldier alive.
