How it feels

A tense solo search where your only connection to safety is a distant signal you must trust to navigate.

What players say

Players describe a short, atmospheric horror game that takes about an hour to beat. The wendigo can one-shot the player, but it fears fire and audio cues are critical for survival. There are no jumpscares, and players are split on whether the lack of direction at the start is confusing.
