How it feels

A tense cooperative survival horror that forces players to rely on stealth and teamwork while managing scarce resources in dark, entity-filled corridors.

What players say

Players praise the atmosphere and story-driven approach, calling it a step above typical Backrooms games. Many say the crafting and armor systems feel pointless and combat is clunky. The campaign takes about 5-6 hours and is best played with friends, though some find the levels too linear and monsters underwhelming.
