What players say

Players compare it to Five Nights at Freddy's: you cannot move and must use fire instead of a flashlight to ward off threats. The game offers no tutorial, demands a good headset, and is very difficult, leading to many deaths. Some players find the repetitive jumpscares lose their impact over time.
