How it feels
A heavy, introspective trek through grief and psychological distress, where puzzle-solving is a slow, deliberate escape from an oppressive inner threat.

What players say
Players agree it is very short, around 30 minutes, and call it an asset flip made from store-bought Unreal assets. Reviews praise the puzzles and a blink mechanic where you close your eyes and follow sounds, but split on the ending, some find it unsatisfying and say it needs a content warning. The developer announced the game would be removed from Steam.
