How it feels

A tense cat-and-mouse chase where you frantically fumble through a keyring to unlock doors while a monster's footsteps grow ever closer.

What players say

Players enjoy the novel key-ring mechanic of locking and unlocking doors while a monster chases them, but say the game is short, under two hours, and held back by bugs like monsters getting stuck or falling through floors. The horror is mild, progression is sometimes unclear, and one reviewer found the endings missing.
