What players say

Players say this is a very short, free horror game where you navigate a dark spaceship with a tablet that runs out of battery too fast. Many compare it to Alien Isolation or Dead Space, but find it less polished and not scary. The story feels unfinished, voice acting is flat, and some achievements are bugged. A few still find it decent for a free student project.
