How it feels

A tense, unsettling descent into psychological horror where your VR investigation is guided by a chat room's prompts, balancing puzzle solving with a creeping sense of dread.

What players say

Players praise the eerie atmosphere and the simulated stream chat, but many note that puzzles rely on a single mechanic and feel repetitive. Some report save bugs or calibration problems, and opinions split on whether the price is fair for the length and interactivity.
