How it feels

Navigating an endless, maze-like complex with friends, the game feels tense and disorienting, with creatures lurking around every corner.

What players say

Players are split: some call it a laugh with friends, others find it awful and mind-numbing. The game is very short, often finished and refunded within an hour. Performance issues and janky movement are common complaints, while the scream mechanic gets a few laughs.
