What players say
Players describe a very short horror walking sim with a creepy holiday atmosphere and jump scares, but many report it is unplayable due to broken mouse look controls or poor optimization. Those who got it running are split: some enjoy the unsettling vibes and quirky story, while others are frustrated by the slow walking speed, a badly executed chase sequence, and a laughably bad ending.
