How it feels

You play through a mundane nightly routine in a cheap apartment that slowly becomes unnerving through subtle, realistic oddities and faint sounds.

What players say

Players finish it in 10 to 30 minutes and are split on the price, calling it a walking sim with one puzzle and an unclear death ending. The sound design and atmosphere get praise, but several say there is no real horror and no jump scares.
