How it feels

You creep through a 1970s jungle commune, tense and observant, weighing each silent move against the hope of saving someone who might not want to be saved.

What players say

Players praise the cult-infiltration concept and its Jonestown inspiration, but they split sharply on execution. Many find the stealth and controls clunky and say procedural generation undermines level design, while others enjoy the atmosphere and the hunt for multiple endings. Nearly everyone agrees it is worth no more than $2, and patience is required.
