How it feels
Swimming through dense fog and confusing cave systems while fleeing a relentless monster creates a tense, claustrophobic escape experience.

What players say
Players are split. Some praise the choose-your-own-adventure style and branching endings, while others find the controls clunky, objectives unclear, and deaths abrupt with no real punishment. Everyone agrees the game is very short, finishing in under an hour.
