How it feels

A slow-paced, atmospheric mystery where you explore a detailed 2D campus, solving puzzles and uncovering a dark secret through a story-rich, almost cinematic experience.

What players say

Players walk around a spooky campus listening to audio crystals to piece together a mystery. The game is short and relies on note-taking, but several reviews report a broken puzzle, missing subtitles, and hard-to-hear recordings that can cause the game to lock up.
