How it feels
You wander cold, abandoned streets, scavenging for temporary items while fighting off monsters, driven by a quiet mystery.

What players say
Players compare it constantly to Cry of Fear, calling it a clone or a love letter. They split on whether it stands on its own. Positives point to the atmosphere, soundtrack and nostalgic feel, but many call the combat shallow, the enemies generic and the game too short with no healing items.
