How it feels

An uneasy, first-person interrogation where every typed word can shift a patient’s trust or fate, wrapped in Lovecraftian dread and FMV immediacy.

What players say

Players praise the acting and Lovecraftian story, but many find the typing parser frustrating, especially non-native speakers who get stuck on exact wording. The ending is called underwhelming.
