How it feels

You explore a derelict mental hospital, solving puzzles by piecing together notes and passwords in a tense, atmospheric race against time.

What players say

Players praise the atmospheric setting and low price, but many call the game too short (30–45 minutes) and point to bugs such as missing English text, limited control options, and character deaths that happen for no clear reason. Some note there is barely a story.
