How it feels

A tense, slow-burn horror game that pulls you into an unsettlingly realistic live-streaming world, with a grainy VHS filter amplifying the dread.

What players say

Players appreciate the creepy atmosphere and a story based on real dangers streamers face, but many find the plot unrealistic and complain the game relies on characters making stupid choices. The walk-and-click gameplay is minimal, trial-and-error failure sends you back to the start of a chapter, and bugs persist on a second playthrough.
