How it feels

A tense, story-driven escape room experience focused on atmosphere and environmental puzzles as you explore a dark house.

What players say

Players say the game is a very short horror experience, around 15 to 20 minutes, with a great atmosphere and a surprising twist. However, most agree it feels unfinished, with performance issues, game-breaking bugs, an overabundance of keys, and a sense it is more of a demo than a full release.
