How it feels

A solitary, atmospheric journey through a quiet and mysterious world, inviting contemplation.

What players say

Players praise its creepy atmosphere and genuinely startling jump scares, though some wish the scares had more buildup. The game is tense but short, with a lot of walking through the forest guided by a GPS. A few mention performance stutters, and others note the lack of saves means death sends you back to the start, which can be exhausting.
