What players say

Players call this a love letter to classic survival horror, set entirely inside an Egyptian tomb. They praise the oppressive atmosphere, challenging puzzles, and risk/reward combat, but warn about scarce ammo, limited save points, and frequent traps. Reviews split on polish: some say performance and bugs have improved, others describe glitches and poor optimization that hurt the experience.
