How it feels

A tense, claustrophobic walking simulator where you dig through surreal whale flesh with x-ray and dynamite, building dread and paranoia in under an hour.

What players say

Players are split on this short horror game about mining through a dead whale. Some appreciate the atmosphere and environmental storytelling, but most find the gameplay loop tedious and repetitive, with only a couple of cheap jump scares as payoff. Many compare it unfavorably to Iron Lung, saying it lacks that game's tension and mystery.
