A tense, immersive horror experience with retro pixel graphics and a cinematic soundtrack that keeps you on edge as you explore a pitch-black unknown.

What players say

Players describe it as a short horror adventure that wears its 1980s Sierra inspirations on its sleeve, with a love-it-or-leave-it grind for money and crafting late in the game. Reviews split on scariness, some find it atmospheric, others say the jump scares are telegraphed and the horror is mild.
