How it feels

A cautious, atmospheric stealth game set in a paranoid historical city where you learn survival skills while evading witch hunters.

What players say

Players describe it as a short, free student project that shows promise but feels janky. The stealth mechanics are basic, the witch hunter AI is unreliable, and achievements are often buggy.
