How it feels

A slow, tense walk through grief and dread, where atmosphere builds unease without rushing toward action.

What players say

Players are split on this short horror game. Some praise the atmosphere and well-timed jump scares, others find the gameplay tedious with too much backtracking through the same house. The true ending requires an obscure puzzle that many feel is too convoluted. Performance quirks like glitchy door triggers frustrate some.
