How it feels

A tense, lonely crawl through dark, collapsing subway tunnels where stealth and survival instincts are all that keep you moving forward.

What players say

Players praise the claustrophobic atmosphere and the authentic Moscow subway setting, but many find the huge maze-like map and randomly placed items lead to tedious backtracking. The lack of a save function and a hunger meter that depletes quickly frustrate some, while others appreciate the genuine tension and the fact it was made by a solo developer.
