How it feels

You creep through a deserted school after hours, solving puzzles and evading a monster's gaze in a tense, atmospheric horror story.

What players say

Players call it a short, cozy horror game with satisfying tactile puzzles and a story split across two chapters. Comparisons to Silent Hill and Resident Evil come up often, though reviewers note the gameplay is lighter, the movement slow, and the horror more atmospheric than scary.
