How it feels

From a lonely forest tower, you guide a lost hiker through dark woods by map and voice, creating tension through atmosphere and conversation rather than sudden scares.

What players say

Players say it is a very short, linear horror game clearly inspired by Do You Copy but with less interactivity and polish. The atmosphere and graphics are praised, but bugs like getting stuck on stairs, a confused ending and many useless items frustrate. Players split on value due to the 1-hour length and single ending.
