How it feels

A slow-paced, atmospheric puzzle adventure where you explore an ancient tomb after a plane crash, solving challenging puzzles to progress deeper into mystery.

What players say

Players praise the puzzles and climbing, but split on value due to a short 2-3 hour campaign, no save function, and near-absent sound. Some report motion sickness from movement and a bug where players fall through the floor at start.
