How it feels

A slow-burn, atmospheric horror experience where dread builds through realistic environments and a haunting soundscape as you survive a single night alone in a new house.

What players say

Players are split on this 2018 horror game. Some enjoy the atmosphere and doll designs, but many say it is a tedious walking simulator where you open cabinets to wait for story triggers. The voice acting is widely panned as text-to-speech. Those who compare it to Pineview Drive find it a weaker copy, and VR support is reportedly broken. The ending is called disappointing.
