How it feels
An unsettling narrative horror that feels like digging through real-world clues, web pages, and cryptic social media, with a slow, tense pace as you piece together an urban legend.

What players say
Players praise the real-world website and Twitter puzzle integration as novel and atmospheric, but many say the game is extremely short, lasting under an hour. Reviews split: some enjoy the experience with friends, while others find the puzzles finicky with bugged answers and the story and characters too shallow for the price.
