How it feels

You are helpless in a dark forest with only a flashlight and your legs to keep you alive, constantly tense and on edge as you piece together clues from a breakdown in civilization.

What players say

Players are split on this early access horror title. Many complain the battery-powered flashlight can softlock progress, while others enjoy the tense chase sequences and maze-like exploration. Some say it feels unfinished with missing walls and empty areas, but a few find it a decent budget scare for the price.
