How it feels

You are a vulnerable nurse fleeing a creepy doctor through shadowy corridors, solving puzzles to survive and uncover a dark ritual.

What players say

Players split on this horror game: some find it atmospheric and scary, while others call it a boring, buggy walking simulator. The Doctor enemy is a highlight, and the flashlight spider mechanic is neat, but the AI can be broken and the item hunt tedious. Performance issues are mentioned, and there is debate over whether the game is a true horror or a puzzle survival game.
