How it feels

A harrowing, atmospheric point-and-click adventure where you navigate deeply oppressive and morally challenging psychological puzzles as doomed characters.

What players say

Players agree the story and voice acting are excellent, but the puzzles are so obscure that a walkthrough is required and softlocks are common. Fans of the short story will find the expansion rewarding, but modern gamers are warned away.
