How it feels

A slow, methodical detective game with a grim tone, where you search for clues and interview witnesses through mazelike, trap-filled environments.

What players say

Players say it is extremely short, around 8 to 15 minutes, and broken in several ways, with a single maze, one looping music track, and graphical glitches. There is almost no detective gameplay, just walking and reading dialogue, and the story is widely considered silly or terrible, though a few find it enjoyable for the low price.
