How it feels

A tense stealth thriller where you navigate a dark, fractured world by seeing through sound while enemies hunt you through your microphone.

What players say

Players praise the mic-based echolocation mechanic as a unique and tense horror hook, but nearly everyone agrees the game is very short, often finished in one sitting. Some find the stealth tedious due to moving too slowly, while others appreciate the atmospheric walking segments.
