How it feels
A tense, first-person horror game where you creep through a surreal, dark village solving puzzles and evading an unseen threat.

What players say
Players compare this horror game to Slenderman, but many find it boring because you wander slowly picking up items while stamina makes chases unwinnable. Reviews split on the atmosphere and monster design versus empty interiors and repetitive fetch-quest pacing.
