How it feels

A tense, retro survival horror experience set in a foggy, post-apocalyptic South Korea where you navigate eerie remains and face terrifying unknowns.

What players say

Players praise it as a solid homage to classic Resident Evil and Dino Crisis with a long 20-hour campaign, but split on its rough edges: combat is frustrating for some due to the QTE-focused aiming, the late-game boat section is widely hated, and bugs like soft locks sour the experience.
