A slow, eerie walk through a derelict hospital, piecing together fragments of a dark history while facing a monstrous presence.

What players say
Players highlight the atmosphere and Russian voice acting but many are frustrated by a difficult platforming section over small objects, made worse by the lack of a save system. The game reuses common horror assets and some players find the story short.
