How it feels

A deceptively cute visual novel that slowly reveals its psychological horror through survival decisions and creepy Eastern European folklore, creating a tense, unsettling experience.

What players say

Players are sharply split: some find this a cute, short visual novel about cooking with friends, while others call the horror cheap, relying on jumpscares and distorted faces. The story is often described as confusing and the choices feel meaningless. Most agree it is best played completely blind.
