How it feels

A first-person psychological horror that shifts from contemplative exploration to high-tension encounters, with darkly absurd and beautiful environments.

What players say

Players praise the atmosphere, story, and voice acting, but call it shorter than expected. The puzzles are mostly simple find-and-use tasks, and some say the horror is light. Mechanics include playing records, finding keys, and pressing buttons.
