How it feels

You sit in a stark room watching a family through security cameras, tension building as night falls and something sinister begins to unfold.

What players say

Players describe this as a bare-bones anomaly-spotting game with no story or context, just checking static CCTV images. The main loop of answering yes or no each hour feels repetitive, and the game is very short, often finished in under 30 minutes. Many are frustrated by the grind for achievements, requiring dozens of replays. Compared to Exit 8, players find it lacks polish and atmosphere.
