A tense, atmospheric horror experience where you navigate a living dungeon with dim light, facing inevitable failure and permuted challenges.

What players say

Players praise the thick atmosphere and lack of cheap jumpscares, but opinions split on gameplay. Fans enjoy the resource management and old-school dungeon crawling, while critics find the combat clunky, exploration dull, and puzzles too simple. Many note the game is short, around 1-2 hours, and recommend buying on discount unless you love the genre.
