How it feels

A dark, story-driven experience where symphonic metal underscores tense choices and emotional desperation.

What players say

Players praise the original concept of a metal album told through a game, but say the execution is rough. The timed QTEs and controls are widely criticized as frustrating, and some warn the fast camera can cause motion sickness. Opinions split on the story and voice acting.
