How it feels

You creep through a surreal Japanese village, solving puzzles while peering through enemy eyes to stay hidden in a tense, deliberate cat-and-mouse game.

What players say

Players praise the sight-jacking mechanic borrowed from Siren, using enemy eyes to navigate and solve puzzles. Opinion splits on the story: some find it thin, others enjoy the atmosphere and multiple endings. Many note the low-budget assets but say the sound design and scares work. A story mode reduces difficulty for less stealth-savvy players.
