How it feels

A tense walking sim where you monitor a corridor for subtle paranormal anomalies, with the constant threat of fatal possession if you slip up.

What players say

Players praise the atmosphere and jump scares, with many noting heavy inspiration from the movie Insidious. The anomaly-hunting gameplay requires backtracking when something is wrong, and finding hidden keys adds extra challenge. The game is short, around 2 hours, but opinions split on difficulty: some find anomalies easy to spot, others struggle, especially with the key hunts.
