How it feels

A tense, unease-filled walking simulator where you're a powerless electrician, and simple lightbulb changes become frightening as darkness hides something predatory.

What players say

Players split on this game. Some enjoy it as a funny, casual horror experience about changing lightbulbs in dark buildings. Others find the constant jumpscares repetitive and say the game runs out of content quickly, with only two levels feeling like the full experience. A common complaint is that the mouse cursor sometimes locks for several seconds after a scare.
