How it feels

A first-person survival horror where navigating liminal, surreal spaces feels tense and uneasy, with realistic perspective and constant threat from lurking entities.

What players say

The game is extremely short, taking under 10 minutes to complete, and players report it feels unfinished with missing textures, gliding enemies, and a broken garage AI. Reviews are mixed: some enjoy the atmosphere and graphics, while others call it linear and rushed.
