A methodical, tension-filled point-and-click exploration through a grim asylum where you must solve puzzles while feeling trapped and hunted by ghostly children.

What players say
Players praise the character designs and cinematic cutscenes, but the difficulty divides them: some find it unforgiving, especially on harder modes, while others appreciate the optional casual mode. Levels are short and each introduces a new mechanic, though a few players find the puzzles finicky.
