How it feels

A two-part horror game that shifts from classic survival horror to a meta, fourth-wall-breaking nightmare in New Game+, making the player feel hunted by the game itself.

What players say

Players are sharply divided. Many praise the simple RE-style inventory and puzzles, finding the concept promising and the meta ending interesting. But a vocal group reports game-breaking bugs that block progress (items not spawning, doors not opening, falling through the map) and call the asylum barren low quality. The game is very short around 2 hours.
