How it feels
A tense first-person walk through abandoned places, piecing together a dark mystery while avoiding threats.

What players say
Players widely dismiss this as an asset flip with a huge but empty map, repetitive walk-and-search gameplay, and almost no puzzles. A few note decent sound and atmosphere, but most say it is confusing, boring, and overpriced. Technical issues like crashes and accidental desktop clicks add to the frustration.
