How it feels

A slow, unsettling walk through a fragmented mind, where reality shifts and dread builds through eerie environments and a haunting soundtrack.

What players say

Players finish it in about two hours and many call the story predictable, though a few are surprised by the ending. The scares are mostly cheap jumpscares and the puzzles are simple, with one morse code puzzle standing out. Visuals are praised, but the constant switching between pitch black and bright light is annoying. Some compare it to Shutter Island.
