How it feels

A tense, monochrome point-and-click search through a hospital with simple puzzles and eerie pixel graphics.

What players say

Players praise the monochrome pixel art and eerie atmosphere, especially the body horror, but are split on the puzzles: some enjoy the old-school challenge while others find them frustratingly obtuse and unhelpful. Many note the short playtime and three endings, though a few find the story unsatisfyingly unresolved. Translation quality is a frequent minor complaint.
