How it feels
A tense, gothic survival horror game where you navigate darkness and face Lovecraftian horrors with dynamic, punishing gameplay.

What players say
Players are split: some praise the atmosphere and music, but many find the game too dark, confusing, and short. The candle goes out too quickly, making it hard to see and survive. Development seems stalled, with no updates in months.
