How it feels
You wander through an empty, eerie mall at night, never sure what is real, as a dark story unfolds around you.

What players say
Players praise the PS1-style visuals and creepy atmosphere, but note it is a very short walking sim, roughly 30 minutes. The maze chase against a creature is a highlight, though some find the third act confusing or nonsensical. Reviews are split on whether the content justifies the price.
