How it feels

An unsettling ride that starts with adorable scares and gradually descends into tense, frantic survival against grotesque horrors.

What players say

Players praise the game's slow shift from a mockery of horror to genuine unease, but note the repetition of walking through hundreds of doors can wear thin. The monster designs are a highlight, with references to classic horror games like Silent Hill and Resident Evil, while the simple loop of sprinting past enemies makes the game easy to beat quickly.
