How it feels

You play as a detached detective chasing a surreal, murderous entity through a dark pixel-art castle, with the pressure of saving or failing your wife hanging over each step.

What players say

Players praise the story and writing but find the puzzles overly random and obscure. Many say the good ending is very difficult to achieve without a guide and that the game is emotionally heavy, with a strongly preferred canon ending.
