How it feels

A slow, atmospheric horror game where the player navigates an eerie mansion, uncovering a dark family curse through tense exploration and psychological dread.

What players say

Players compare it to classic Resident Evil and Silent Hill, praising the fixed camera angles and two campaigns. Performance is unreliable with crashes and bugs, controls feel clunky, and puzzles are often confusing due to poor translation.
