How it feels

A brief, tense walk along a deserted beach at night, where handheld camcorder footage leans into a low-key unnerving atmosphere and the feeling of being observed.

What players say

Players agree the game is very short, around 5 to 15 minutes, and functions more as a demo or atmospheric piece than a full experience. While the creepy, bleak atmosphere and environmental storytelling are praised, many find the lack of content and minimal action disappointing for the price.
