What players say

Players praise the deeply unsettling atmosphere and sound design, with many finding the caregiving sections surprisingly relaxing. However, the use of AI-generated images provokes strong negative reactions, with reviewers calling it distracting and dishonest even if disclosed. Some find the puzzles poorly signposted, and players split on whether the horror pacing escalates too quickly.
