How it feels

A tense, slow-paced exploration through dark, narrow hallways, relying on sound and minimal interaction to build unease.

What players say

Players describe a short, free horror maze game with an interesting story and multiple endings, but they are split on the controls: some find them simple and enjoyable while others report they cause nausea or make turning difficult, and the bright jumpscares can be unpleasant.
