How it feels

A disorienting, intimate psychological horror experience that slowly destabilizes your perception of memory and reality.

What players say

Players praise the memory-based 'spot the difference' horror concept, but opinions split on execution. Some call it innovative and tense, while others find it tedious and repetitive. The text uses a VCR-style blur effect that can be straining, though toggleable. The story unfolds through podcasts, and the ending is widely criticized as a rushed mess.
