How it feels

You walk alone through a dark house, the silence and dread pressing in as you search for answers.

What players say

Players report a short atmospheric horror walkthrough, but many complain it has no settings to disable motion blur or camera shake, causing sickness. The flashlight movement is also criticized as jumpy and unadjustable, and one reviewer could not progress due to unclear interact prompts.
