How it feels

A slow, thoughtful crawl through eerie hospital halls, leaning on brainwork and observation rather than action.

What players say

Players describe it as a short horror puzzle game set in an abandoned hospital, taking about 30 minutes to an hour. Atmosphere and jump scares are praised, though some reviews note the ending is unsatisfying. Puzzles are generally easy, and the game allows for a relaxed pace since there is no running or chasing.
