How it feels
A slow-burn descent into compulsion and dread, where the player is driven forward by an unseen pull into an oppressive, dark void.

What players say
Players praise the hand-drawn art and eerie cosmic horror atmosphere, but opinions split on the core mechanic: when the lantern runs out you restart from the beginning, which some find punishing and others say works well for the short length. The game takes about one to two hours and has multiple endings.
