How it feels

A slow, atmospheric first-person exploration game about traversing a desolate Venusian landscape while uncovering a mystery through environmental storytelling and player choice.

What players say

Players describe it as a short walking simulator with a mixed reception. Many praise the atmosphere and sci-fi story with two endings, but others find it aimless and difficult to navigate, especially in caves. The single-developer nature gets respect despite bugs and a divisive ending.
