How it feels

a tense, brief horror walk where you navigate a dark harbor while a monster only visible in your mirror stalks you.

What players say

Players describe this as a clever but extremely short free horror game, taking under 30 minutes. The core mirror-based stealth is praised, yet many find it unnecessary, relying on sound and hiding under furniture. The monster AI can be erratic, trapping players or ignoring the mechanic entirely.
