How it feels
Playing feels like creeping through a rain-soaked 90s horror film, carefully uncovering a grim conspiracy while always aware that one wrong step could be fatal.

What players say
Players praise the PS1-era atmosphere and puzzle design, but many find the Goat Face stalker too hard to shake off, making chases frustrating. The game runs about 2-3 hours and has some annoyances like bear traps and being unable to pause unless hiding in a closet.
