How it feels

A quiet, creeping sense of dread as you navigate identical hallways, where each wrong choice violently resets your progress and fragments of a dark story slowly surface.

What players say

Players enjoy the atmosphere and retro style, but new players find it confusing until they realize it is an anomaly game. Some note that rooms look bland and the mouse sensitivity resets after dying.
