How it feels

You navigate endless procedurally generated hallways, scavenging for resources and building shelters while tense silence is punctuated by unsettling sounds.

What players say

Players describe it as abandoned by the developer, with janky controls and no inventory UI. The game is considered boring and half the time is spent waiting out the night cycle because it's too dark.
