How it feels

A brief, tense walking-sim horror experience with a dark and unsettling atmosphere as you investigate a wrong-feeling apartment.

What players say

Players say it is a very short indie horror game, around 30 minutes, and opinions split on whether that fits the price. Many call the movement frustratingly slow with no run button, the scares cheap, and the puzzles minimal, but some praise the audio and atmosphere. The developer's reliance on mannequins draws complaints of a repetitive formula.
