How it feels

Claustrophobic and tense navigation of a deadly irradiated power plant without handholding, relying on your own skill and a radiation detector to survive.

What players say

Players describe a short, semi-linear horror game that relies on atmosphere and player skill rather than chase sequences. You navigate using only a paper map and geiger counter, with no on-screen markers, and some players find the puzzles frustrating. Optimisation is noted as poor.
