How it feels
A slow-burn detective horror where you piece together clues from grisly crime scenes and interrogate suspects, all while an old trauma threatens to resurface.

What players say
Players praise the story and atmosphere, especially the Lovecraftian horror and pixel art. The game is short with multiple endings and a novel dialog system, though some find the puzzles uninspired and the body horror art inconsistent. It evokes classic Wadjet Eye adventures.
