How it feels

A tense, methodical detective walk through a desolate manor where peering into ghostly memories is the only way to piece together a violent, supernatural mystery.

What players say

Players compare the detective work to Return of the Obra Dinn but find the story convoluted and the ending unsatisfying. The interface has no mouse control and requires repetitive name-filling, while the character designs are hard to distinguish. Reviews split on whether the puzzle payoff justifies the short, single-playthrough experience.
