How it feels

You explore creepy environments, solve puzzles, and search for hidden objects while uncovering a dark mystery on a tense Halloween night.

What players say

Players finish in 2 to 3 hours, some report crashes and find the puzzles too easy with very few hidden object scenes. The dark atmosphere and graphics get praise, but the value is questioned given the short runtime without a bonus chapter.
