How it feels

A tense, atmospheric survival horror where you must cautiously explore an abandoned place, often standing still to evade an ever-present evil.

What players say

Players say the horror relies on a single mechanic where you must stand still when a red demon appears, but there is no audio cue before sudden death. Oculus Rift Touch controllers do not work without a Windows 7 compatibility workaround. The atmosphere is genuinely scary, but the early-access content is short and has bugs.
