How it feels

A tense, atmospheric escape from an eerie circus using physics-based swinging movement.

What players say

Players acknowledge this is a free student project made in three months. The arm-swinging movement is widely disliked for being slow and awkward, and many report bugs, glitches, and motion sickness. Those who enjoyed it praise the creepy atmosphere and voice acting, but nearly everyone says the movement holds it back.
