What players say

Players describe it as a roguelike horror game that combines jump scares with item collecting, comparing it to The Binding of Isaac and Spooky's Jumpscare Mansion. It has multiple endings, a simple but addictive loop, and solid creature designs, though some note achievement bugs and that custom inputs don't save.
