How it feels

A lonely, suspenseful point-and-click adventure through a sinister forest where you solve puzzles and use a map to find your way out.

What players say

A short point and click horror game where players navigate a grid-based map, take notes and read coordinates. Players praise its atmospheric pixel graphics and sound design, though they disagree on length: some finish in 30 minutes while others take an hour for the true ending. Some note the writing feels video gamey with its coordinate-based clues.
