What players say

Players describe this as a short, free horror game with a simple but effective gameplay loop of fixing things under pressure. It relies heavily on sudden jumpscares and sound to create panic, though opinions split on whether it is genuinely scary or just startling. Some praise the atmosphere and lore, while others find the time pressure too tight for comfort.
