How it feels
A tense, narrative-driven experience where you uncover a disturbing crime through deliberate choices, with the oppressive feel of an investigation into madness and violence.

What players say
Players are sharply divided. Many praise the strong female lead and its feminist themes, calling it important despite rough edges. Just as many condemn the game as a shallow, one-sided gender agenda piece that forces players into a grotesque male-incel perspective. Everyone agrees it is very short, around one to two hours, with only one meaningful choice and a slide-show presentation.
