A short, oppressive walk through a shifting, decaying house where every passing hour tightens an inescapable grip of dread.

What players say
Players agree the game is very short, finishing in under an hour, and opinions split on value: some call it overpriced and a scam while others say the low price makes the length acceptable. The atmosphere gets praise, but several reviewers point to stock assets, loud jump scares, and the absence of volume settings.
