How it feels

A tense, atmospheric adventure where every choice matters as you unravel dark secrets in a retro pixel-art fairy-tale world.

What players say

Players come from Yuppie Psycho and find a shorter, slower, more fairy-tale-like horror. They praise the atmosphere and story but warn about a fullscreen flashback bug that makes the game unplayable without a fix. The slow walking and limited saves frustrate some, while others enjoy the tense exploration.
