How it feels

A tense, claustrophobic first-person experience where anxiety builds as you piece together clues from a sparse, dark room.

What players say

Players describe this as a puzzle-focused horror game with heavy atmosphere and jump scares, taking about 3 to 4 hours to finish. Many note the game creates text files on the desktop, has Italian voice acting only, and a frustrating final boss. Players are split on the ending and some encounters, but overall the creepy atmosphere is a highlight.
