How it feels

You navigate a gloomy, open forest under constant threat, relying on stealth and a photorealistic environment to survive, with every death pushing you further from your goal.

What players say

Players say the game is extremely short, often beaten in under 20 minutes by walking backwards and staring at the knight to stop it from attacking. The story is thin, the menu is plain, and while the graphics and atmosphere get some praise, most find it tedious, not scary, and not worth the price.
