How it feels

A tense, atmospheric stealth game where you carefully manage your light source while collecting rats and avoiding lurking monsters in dimly lit levels.

What players say

Players praise the tense horror atmosphere and the clever oil-and-bullet resource management, and many treat it as a speedrun game. The game is very short, around 30 minutes, and some find the mansion level frustrating. A few note the gun is off-center and sensitivity cannot be changed.
