How it feels
A slow-burn, tension-filled horror experience where careful exploration and psychological dread replace cheap jump scares.

What players say
Players warn that the game hijacks the web browser to open a website, raising malware concerns. It is very short, around 20 minutes, with an abrupt ending that leaves the story unexplained. Some find the atmosphere creepy, but most are put off by the browser exploit and lackluster execution.
