How it feels

You explore an abandoned school in first person, piecing together clues through notes and environmental storytelling while tension slowly builds from the unknown.

What players say

Players praise the art, voice acting, and atmosphere but consistently hit game-breaking bugs, especially an inventory glitch that makes progress impossible. The lack of any save system makes these bugs punishing, and players are split on recommending a clearly unfinished but promising free game.
