How it feels

A brief, tense crawl through a suffocating cave, driven by story and a sense of confined dread.

What players say

Players praise the oppressive cave atmosphere and sound design, likening it to analog horror works like Local 58. The game is very short, around 20 to 30 minutes, and several note it is a promising first effort from a two-person team, though some find its repetitive corridors and lack of scares forgettable.
