How it feels

A short, atmospheric first-person horror experience where a quiet New Year's Eve celebration slowly turns surreal and tense.

What players say

Players say it is a very short horror walking sim with pretty graphics and a solid holiday atmosphere, but most find the jump scares predictable and the scares mild. The story has a cliche twist that some still enjoyed, though a few reviewers report buggy settings (motion blur, vsync) and one notes a firework interaction that requires repeated button presses.
