How it feels

A tense, dark first-person exploration game where you navigate a nightmare town using an EMF reader to find crosses while avoiding anatomic horrors, with an optional wave-based action mode.

What players say

Players praise the simple voxel art and unsettling sound design, but opinions split on quality. Some find it a challenging horror experience with satisfying skill progression, while others call it underwhelming with repetitive item-fetching and enemies that are more annoying than scary.
