How it feels

You methodically patrol a derelict spaceship, scanning for anomalies while a silent AI watches over you, creating a creeping sense of isolation and unease.

What players say

Players call it an 8번출구-like set in a space station, with a camera-based anomaly system that sets it apart. The run is short, around one hour, and players are split on the horror: some find it mild, others report a few genuinely startling moments.
