How it feels

A tense survival horror where you creep through a darkened apartment, hunting cursed dolls while hostile spirits adapt to your movements and keep you guessing at every sound.

What players say

Players explore a dark apartment complex using a phone camera to see otherwise invisible ghosts while collecting nine dolls under a time limit. Many note glitches, odd AI, and a frustrating final escort section. Some say it is enjoyable on sale, others complain about asset quality and translation.
