How it feels

You are hunted in tight, dimly lit spaces, relying on radio hints and quick wits to evade an relentless, long-imprisoned foe.

What players say

Players describe a free horror game set on a boat where you solve puzzles while a monster chases you, but many find it unfinished. Frequent complaints cover losing all progress on death, glitchy monster movement, poor performance, unclear objectives, and bugs that break the experience. Some enjoy the atmosphere and puzzles enough to recommend it, though most agree it needs more polish and content.
