What players say

Players are split on this free indie walking sim. Many praise its eerie atmosphere, sound design, and lovecraftian monster but are frustrated by the punishing checkpoint system: dying resets all altar progress, forcing a long walk back. Some call it a tech demo or amateur project, others appreciate the zero-handholding design.
