How it feels

You sit alone in a dingy security booth, managing a facility gone wrong through crackling radio chatter and flickering monitors, guiding terrified survivors while unseen threats close in.

What players say

Players praise the atmosphere, voice acting, and music, but many are frustrated by limited interactivity in the booth and a short runtime. The branching dialogue is a highlight, though players split on Valerie's character, with some finding her grating. The game is often compared to Firewatch for its radio-based narrative.
