How it feels

A tense first-person survival horror with realistic settings and Lovecraftian overtones, driven by investigation and puzzle solving in a cursed apartment.

What players say

Players praise the tense atmosphere but are split on the lack of saves and checkpoints. Some find it essential to the horror, while others quit in frustration. The monster can spawn unpredictably and block doorways, causing unfair deaths. Puzzles are item retrieval with no randomization, making repetition tedious.
