How it feels

Playing feels like a tense, methodical investigation where you observe strange, randomly occurring events in a virtual house, requiring careful categorization and reporting.

What players say

Players investigate anomalies in a virtual house, with random events across four categories. The game is short, around 30-40 minutes, but some find the map too large and movement slow. It draws comparisons to 'exit 8' games, and opinions split on whether the spooky atmosphere outweighs the walking.
