How it feels

A tense found-phone mystery where you piece together clues through text, video, and puzzles, with an ever-present dread of being watched.

What players say

Players praise the game as a solid follow-up to the classic Doctor Who episode Blink, with returning characters and actors. They consistently note the short playtime of around two to five hours and the low replay value. The found-phone gameplay is compared to Simulacra, with mixed feelings about some cringey dialogue.
