How it feels

A tense, atmospheric horror game where you outwit a dark presence using rhythm and typing.

What players say

Players are split on this rhythm-horror game: some enjoy the unique heartbeat-based movement and panic typing when the monster chases, while others find the tempo controls frustrating enough to kill the suspense. The 16-bit art style and voice acting are praised, and the game runs on Linux via Proton.
