How it feels

A slow, uneasy crawl through grounded, human-driven horror where the dread comes from realistic, everyday situations rather than monsters.

What players say

Players say the game is extremely short, often finished in under an hour, and feels more like a demo than a full release. Its atmosphere and art style are praised, but many note the horror rarely lands beyond a jumpscare from the granny character, and a reviewer criticizes the inevitable run-and-hide sequence.
