How it feels

A tense cooperative horror exploration where the unsettling atmosphere and proximity chat create an immersive, stealthy search for truth in a dark yet questionably peaceful world.

What players say

Players say the monster is overpowered and cannot be escaped, with a two-hit death system that makes even easy mode frustrating. The goal is to find ten randomly-placed documents and leave, but many consider it impossible. Reviews note the developer recycles the same monster-and-fetch gameplay across different levels and calls them separate games.
