How it feels

A first-person exploration through fragmented memory, using a retro video camera to rewind and pause objects while uncovering a family's dark secrets.

What players say

Players praise the unique camera-based time-rewind puzzles and the unsettling family mystery, but many find the controls sluggish and some puzzles feel arbitrary. The game is short, best for fans of narrative walking sims like Gone Home and Edith Finch, though opinions split on whether the scares are effective.
