You methodically scan static surveillance feeds, hunting for subtle changes that make your skin crawl.

What players say

Players praise the story mode and its Papers, Please-like choices between shifts, though some struggle with translation quirks. The game has many endings and a deep search puzzle layer unlocking lore, but players warn of jump scares and a tough Nightmare difficulty.
