How it feels

You are stranded in the desert, trapped in a claustrophobic underground labyrinth, and must piece together a dark family story while fighting for survival.

What players say

Players describe a short horror game where you are trapped underground after touching a gas station radio, but say movement is awkward like early Tomb Raider, voice acting is poor, and progress is often blocked by instant-death steam or fire with no clear solution. Some also complain the game is overpriced.
