What players say

Players praise its story based on true events from Brazil's dictatorship era, delivered in a short 2-7 hour 90s survival horror style. It draws comparisons to Signalis and Resident Evil, with clever puzzles and light resource management, though some note balancing issues near the end and a lack of steam achievements.
