How it feels

A short, tense found-footage exploration where you cautiously document an abandoned house, guided by foreboding sound design and a creeping sense of dread.

What players say

Players praise the atmosphere, camera mechanic, and PT-like tension, though some say the basement goes on too long and the jump scares lose impact once you realize you cannot die. A subset of players criticize the use of AI-generated images without disclosure, while others find the graphics impressive.
