How it feels

A methodical puzzle experience where dying repeatedly is the core mechanic, set in a mysterious, slightly eerie facility with pixel art and a light horror tone.

What players say

A short RPG Maker puzzle game focused on navigating traps and death mechanics. Players note the trial and error gameplay with multiple endings, though some find the chase sections frustrating due to imprecise controls.
