How it feels

You explore a strange neighborhood and play retro 8-bit games, all while an unsettling atmosphere builds around you.

What players say

Players say it is a very short experience that is more weird than scary, with the horror tag feeling misleading. The retro mini-games are fun but frustratingly hard, and the story is vague, leaving players to find multiple endings for context. Many find it overpriced for the content.
