How it feels

A tense, claustrophobic experience of helplessness as you can only look around while eerie phenomena occur around you.

What players say

Players finish it in 25 to 32 minutes with no ending, and opinions split on whether the jump scares feel cheap or effectively eerie, though the sleep paralysis concept and atmosphere are praised.
