What players say

Players call this a short but atmospheric free horror game about a witch hiding from a demon, praising its sound design and unsettling feel. Many note it feels like a student project or demo, with complaints about bugs where the monster spawns on the player and losing all resources on death. Reviews are split on development, some say it was abandoned.
