How it feels
A tense, stealth-focused survival horror where light itself is the threat and every mistake invites a swift, predatory response.

What players say
Players describe this free horror game as a short Alien Isolation-inspired student project with a unique avoid-light mechanic. They praise the sound design and monster design but criticize the poor optimization, buggy monster AI, and very short length that can be beaten in under an hour.
