How it feels

A tense, atmospheric first-person psychological horror where exploring a dark forest and solving puzzles is punctuated by unpredictable AI-driven scares.

What players say

Players are split: some call it a well-crafted horror with good scares and a strong forest atmosphere, while others find it aimless, padded with key-hunting, and ruined by forced wait times until the game decides you can progress. Performance and bugs like a missing phone are also flagged.
