How it feels

You cautiously explore a wrong, empty house, solving puzzles and finding keys while the air thickens with dread and a family secret looms below.

What players say

Players say this is a very short horror game (20–30 minutes) with jump scares and puzzles, but it lacks a brightness adjustment, save function, and the doors can be finicky. The ending maze and scares are rough around the edges.
