How it feels

A tense, claustrophobic survival story where you navigate complete darkness, relying on sparse encounters to piece together what happened.

What players say

Players praise the all-black screen as cleverly atmospheric, but many call it an e-book with no gameplay. The game is short with multiple endings, though detractors find the writing amateurish and the reading tedious. Some note it is in French.
