How it feels

Navigating uncanny, flickering hallways while unseen creatures skitter nearby creates a low-boil tension that never quite lets up.

What players say

Players are split: some find it a funny short game with creative achievements and a secret ending, while others say the entity barely functions, levels feel cloned, and the game is boring with glitches.
