How it feels

A tense, first-person escape room where you solve puzzles under time pressure in a dark, disturbing environment.

What players say

Players praise the original puzzles and atmospheric steampunk noir setting but split on the timed death mechanic, which only counts down while moving and resets at checkpoints. Some find it adds tension, others find it obnoxious. The puzzles are challenging yet satisfying, and hints are available for stuck players.
