How it feels

A tense, hand-drawn 2D side-scroller where the line between nightmare and reality blurs, with deliberate exploration and puzzle-solving under a constant threat.

What players say

Players praise the disturbing art and atmosphere, but split on the gameplay: some find the 2-3 hour story compelling with a devastating ending, while others say it is padded with repetitive locations and cheap enemy spawns. The single ending disappoints many who wished for a good outcome.
