How it feels

A slow, quiet exploration through a misty Cornish forest at night, piecing together an ancient mystery with a creeping sense of unease.

What players say

Players praise the eerie atmosphere and British folklore setting, but note it is a dated 2006 point-and-click with frustrating controls, glitchy movement, and puzzles that often require a guide.
