How it feels

Trapped in a clinical simulation where psychological tension builds from the feeling of no escape, the game feels like a slow-burn ordeal that prioritizes atmosphere over action.

What players say

Players find this a difficult but rewarding platformer where an entity called IT chases you. Many complain that after 10 deaths on a new level you are sent back to an old one, creating a repetitive cycle. Others point to inconsistent wallrun detection and a slow respawn timer. The movement is praised for being satisfying once mastered.
