How it feels
A linear, atmospheric walking simulator that feels like a dark, horror-tinged story told through a retro RPG Maker lens.

What players say
This spin-off trades the series' usual 2D walking for first-person dungeon crawling with combat QTEs and jumpscares. Players say it is short but tells a complete story with multiple endings, and some find the random enemy encounters frustrating. The retro visuals and simple systems split opinions, though most agree it is a fun snack-sized horror game.
