How it feels

A tense, run-or-die chase through hand-drawn nightmare mazes where hiding is impossible and survival depends on constant movement.

What players say

Players compare it to a first-person Pac-Man in a horror setting. The hand-drawn art and atmosphere are praised, but many find the gameplay shallow and note the single map requires restarting with a slow cutscene each time. Reviews split on whether the challenge feels fair or random, and some criticize the model of locking content behind DLC.
