How it feels

A tense first-person investigate-and-avoid horror where psychic rituals uncover a family tragedy while hostile forces close in.

What players say

Players praise the fortune-telling tools like tarot and dowsing rods as original, but opinions split on the horror: it relies on jump scares and chasing a ghost lady to cover mirrors, which some find frustrating rather than frightening. The game takes about 2–10 hours over 13 chapters, with a story that ties cases together at the end, though a few wish it were shorter or less repetitive.
