How it feels

A tense and atmospheric first-person stealth experience where each run feels unpredictable and deadly, with psychological horror lurking in procedurally generated nightmares.

What players say

Players praise the randomized maps and multiple exit goals for high replayability, but note heavy reliance on luck, especially with enemy sound cues being confusing. The difficulty is high, and some find the game overly punishing in hard mode.
