How it feels

A frantic, playful hide-and-seek where one player frantically scans a dark room while the others fumble by touch, making every round a jolt of tension and laughter.

What players say

Players love the free asymmetric party game where one player in VR protects candles while two ghosts sneak around. The fun hinges on having two other people in the room, and some note the alchemist can camp a single candle, unbalancing the game. It is a short, replayable novelty rather than a deep experience.
