How it feels

You wander lonely, dreamlike spaces through a grainy VHS viewfinder, with a constant vague sense of being watched.

What players say

Players say the game has no monsters or jump scares, relying on atmosphere and paranoia to create tension. It is a short walking simulator praised for its backrooms aesthetic, though some find it expensive for the length and others disagree on whether entities are present.
