How it feels

A grim and tense survival hunting game set in a bleak night cycle, where each scavenging run feels like a draining chore in a desperate escape narrative.

What players say

Players are split on this short indie horror. Some praise the ending as punchy, others point to logic gaps and strange character behavior in the story. One reviewer noted a memorable bug where a deer played dead for 30 minutes.
