How it feels

A tense third-person horror game where you explore Indonesian-inspired environments, hunt ghosts with a smartphone, and fight back with melee combat.

What players say

Players praise the Indonesian folklore, atmospheric soundtrack, and Silent Hill/Fatal Frame vibes, but many find the combat frustrating with stunlock deaths and a camera that is too close. The story is confusing without playing the first game, and some call it broken.
