How it feels

A slow, atmospheric point-and-click puzzle adventure through a dark forest and a haunted house, driven by searching for a missing friend amid mysterious spirits and a cult.

What players say

Players say the puzzles are extremely cryptic and unintuitive, often requiring a walkthrough. The game has a creepy atmosphere and decent story, but frustrating puzzles, unclear hints, and occasional progression-blocking bugs sour the experience.
