What players say

Players describe a very short horror game, around 30 to 40 minutes, focused on walking through a haunted hotel and reading notes with a few jump scares. Many find the atmosphere engaging but note rough controls, crashes near the ending, and a basic, unpolished feel. Reviews are split on whether the story's twist justifies the playtime.
