How it feels

A tense, creeping psychological test that draws you into unsettling introspection and eerie atmosphere, relying on sound and slow dread rather than action.

What players say

Players praise the creepy atmosphere and buildup, but say the game is very short, has almost no replay value, and relies on cheap jumpscares. Many feel the interesting concept is poorly executed.
