How it feels
A methodical, episodic first-person journey through a dark, story-rich world with deliberate puzzles and sparse horror that prioritizes atmosphere over jump scares.

What players say
Players appreciate the graphics, music, and story but are split on the pacing. Many find the cutscenes unskippable and the walking speed too slow, and complain about save points that force restarting levels. Puzzles are considered rewarding by some, frustrating by others. It is the first chapter of a multi-chapter release.
