How it feels

A tense, methodical exploration of a dark forest where you must rely on a crank flashlight and radio while avoiding unpredictable, ambient danger.

What players say

Players praise the atmosphere and environmental storytelling, but note the game is slow-paced with limited sprint and a large map. The wendigo is extremely perceptive, making stealth tense, though frequent autosaves reduce frustration. Some report a game-breaking bug with a CD item. Completion time is around 3-4 hours.
