How it feels

A tense, short first-person walk through an abandoned asylum, solving puzzles while uncovering a dark story.

What players say

Players praise the creepy atmosphere and clever puzzles but are split on the darkness, many find the indoor areas impractically pitch black even with a flashlight. It is a very short game, and several note the use of AI-generated images and voice work. Most agree it is worth the low asking price.
