What players say
Players describe a short horror escape room set in a psychiatric hospital. They consistently note very slow movement, a relentless enemy with sharp senses that makes stealth frustrating, and puzzles that some found interesting but others felt overly complex or obtuse. Bugs and performance problems are also reported, alongside a lackluster story and unpredictable save points.
