What players say

Players describe it as a free short anomaly game in the exit 8 style, where you walk through an office spotting subtle differences. Opinions are split: some find it tense and atmospheric with good scares, while others call the gameplay loop repetitive. Some note the lack of graphics settings and a high default mouse sensitivity.
