How it feels

A tense and atmospheric first-person survival horror where you sneak through hostile environments, relying on stealth and caution to survive.

What players say

Players say it is a short horror game with simple puzzles and a creepy atmosphere, but some complain about odd enemy detection and a save mechanic that forces them to start already hunted. The low price earns goodwill, though a few find it too short for the cost.
