How it feels

A tense, exploration-driven horror game where you piece together a grim murder mystery through eerie, pseudo-3D pixel environments and sudden jump scares.

What players say

Players are split on the game's disorienting fish-eye camera, which many say causes headaches and nausea. It is a short, story-driven horror game set in a school, focused on exploration and notes rather than action, with multiple endings and a quiet atmosphere.
