How it feels

A slow, eerie walk through a deserted suburb, where every shadow and detail hints at a loss that can only be replayed like a worn videotape.

What players say

Players call it a very short psychological horror walking sim, beatable in under an hour. The atmosphere and visuals get praise, but most feel the tension never pays off with actual scares. Some report bugs like softlocks and no save system, and a few note the use of AI voice acting and images.
