How it feels

You explore an abandoned Soviet mine, uncovering its secrets through slow, tense exploration with a lingering sense of dread.

What players say

Players praise the atmosphere and a tense hide-and-seek formula, but the game is let down by clunky movement, poor animation, and game-breaking save bugs near the end that crash the game. Opinion divides on the enemy AI: some find the monsters fast and intense, others call it hilariously bad.
