How it feels

A slow, pensive text-driven mystery where your choices determine how deeply you sink into seas of secrets and dread.

What players say

Players praise the Lovecraftian horror story set in Scotland and the branching paths with two protagonists, but the text suffers from typos and grammar problems. The class system barely matters and dying often forces a full restart since there is no saving.
