What players say

Players call this a brief found-footage horror experience where you switch between security cameras in a live dark web broadcast. Many note the atmosphere is creepy but the gameplay is very simple and the motion detection sometimes fails. Opinion splits on whether the tension pays off or falls flat, with several mentioning it feels more like a short film than a game.
