How it feels

A slow-burn first-person exploration game where you uncover unsettling mysteries in a decaying university, with a pervasive sense of dread and the feeling of being trapped in a surreal, Lovecraftian nightmare.

What players say

Players describe it as a Lovecraftian walking simulator with a focus on exploration and atmosphere, but its heavy referential humor undercuts any tension. Reviews are split on the ending, which some find unsatisfying and abrupt.
