A slow, tense exploration of dread and psychological horror through simple item-finding and a grim story inspired by Edgar Allan Poe.

What players say

Players are sharply divided on this short horror game based on Edgar Allan Poe. Many praise its atmosphere and creepy moments, but just as many condemn its lack of a save function, reliance on cheap jump scares, and bugs that can force a restart. There is no consensus, it is either a promising indie experience or a waste of time.
