How it feels

A tense, lonely puzzle-survival crawl through a dark, failing underground facility with a deliberate, cautious pace.

What players say

Players compare it to Myst but warn it is significantly harder, with puzzles that offer no guidance and few saves. The atmosphere is consistently called unsettling. Opinions divide: some love the challenge, others find the non-VR mode broken, the visuals unpolished, and the controls clunky.
