How it feels

You walk through a dark 1930s prison, solving puzzles and facing unseen threats while uncovering a disturbing story.

What players say

Players praise the atmosphere and 1930s aesthetic, but consistently say it is very short and ends on a cliffhanger with no sign of episode 2. Many find the voice acting mismatched and wish for an option to turn it off. Puzzles are simple, though a few reviewers note a poorly placed auto-save near a frustrating ending puzzle.
