How it feels

You piece together evidence from a real-life serial killer case through methodical detective work and grim storytelling.

What players say

Players describe a very short horror game that takes 30 to 45 minutes. The atmosphere reminds some of the movie Disturbia, but the story is predictable and the ending is unsatisfying. The killer's patrol path is inconsistent, hiding spots are scarce, and dying in the final section forces a full replay. Players split on whether the core idea works, but agree the game lacks polish and depth.
