How it feels

A slow, atmospheric walking sim where you piece together a surreal mystery through quiet exploration of desolate Welsh landscapes.

What players say

Players praise the atmosphere, voice acting, and the unique echolocation mechanic, but many find the game frustratingly vague about where to go, leading to tedious backtracking through large environments. Opinions split on the story, some call it compelling while others find it stale and unoriginal.
