How it feels

A creeping, dread-soaked experience where each night pulls you deeper into a cursed mansion, blending grief and horror into something deeply unsettling.

About

Rei Kurosawa suffers a strange dream each night, since she took a photo of her dead boyfriend in an abandoned old mansion. Every night the dream will take her deeper and deeper in an old mansion, when she will have to find out what is going on.

What players say

A genuinely creepy Japanese ghost-story horror whose oppressive mansion, eerie sound design and nightmare-rooted scares build slow, lingering dread, with an emotional story that moves players. Sluggish movement and awkward camera draw complaints, and some find it less fresh than the earlier entries.
