How it feels

A slow-burn psychological horror where you explore a haunted family home, solving puzzles in a tense, atmospheric setting with disturbing audio and shadowy threats.

What players say

Players are split on the story: some find it deep and engaging, others call it confusing and silly. The puzzles are similarly divisive, with some saying they are clever and others finding them too simple or unclear. Performance issues are noted even on strong PCs, and the game is short. It is generally praised as a promising first game from an Arabic indie developer, with many hoping for a sequel.
