How it feels

Navigating disorienting, photorealistic liminal spaces with a VHS filter, driven by exploration and puzzles under a constant, low-level tension.

What players say

Players praise the graphics and unlimited sprint, but many report bugs like softlocks, entities killing on spawn, and progress not saving. The camera shake and head bobbing are divisive, and players note there is no way to rebind controls or adjust sensitivity. The game is short, around one to two hours, and ends abruptly.
