How it feels

A tense cooperative experience where two players unravel a dark mystery by solving puzzles in separated environments.

What players say

Players say it is a short co-op puzzle game that works better as a virtual escape room than a horror game. The puzzles are fine but the story is weak, the horror is mild, and there is no chapter select. Optimization and motion sickness are common complaints.
