How it feels
A slow, unsettling exploration through a 2D pixel house where reality blurs with illusion, driven by a dark narrative rather than jump scares.

What players say
Players are split on this free side-scrolling adventure. Some praise its mysterious, atmospheric story about mental health, while others find the plot confusing, the writing hamfisted, and the walking painfully slow.
