How it feels

A slow, unease-filled walk through an isolated island’s mundane yet surreal horror, as you uncover a grim true story through exploration.

What players say

Players finish this in half an hour to an hour. It is a walking simulator where doors change when you look away, a trick that some find interesting and others call boring. The story is psychological horror with no monsters, similar to Layers of Fear or P.T., but reviewers split on whether the story lands or feels absent. The English voice acting and some texture loading are called weak.
