A rough, amateur survival horror experience that tries to build tension through dimly lit manor exploration and an original soundtrack from a respected composer.

What players say
Players are divided on this free horror game. Some call it a short but atmospheric experience with PS1-style visuals and Amnesia vibes, while others dismiss it as an asset flip or poorly optimized. Many note it was made by a 15-year-old and takes under 30 minutes to finish.
