A methodical point-and-click exploration through a dark, surreal temple where solving puzzles and uncovering secrets builds a slow-burning tension.

What players say
Players compare it to Rusty Lake and praise its puzzles, though many find some solutions arbitrary or unclear. Opinions split on difficulty: some call it fair, others say it is rage-inducing. A timed ending and two endings get mentioned. The game was originally paid but later went free.
