How it feels

A contemplative and uneasy journey through a doomed spaceship, where you embody forces that feel alien yet intimate, compelled by moral weight and atmospheric dread.

What players say

Players praise the short sci-fi story and character writing, but many find the lack of a save system and counterintuitive late-game puzzles frustrating. Some report a bugged true ending that ruins the experience.
