How it feels

a slow-burn, emotionally charged puzzle experience in VR that draws you into a family's trauma through tactile object manipulation and layered clues

What players say

Players describe this as a polished VR escape room with a single room, a dark story told through audio flashbacks, and puzzles that are challenging but fair. The game is short, around 30 minutes to an hour for most, but offers good value at its price. Some find the teleport movement and object interaction clumsy, and the creepy tone puts off a few reviewers.
