Steam reviews

What players say

Players mostly find this short free horror game unsettling and distinctive, though many call the clunky tank controls and grid movement a real drawback.

Many players praise the atmosphere, the oppressive visual style and the sound design, and several say the game unsettles them more than typical horror. Some like the grid-based movement and the limited combat because they make every step feel tense, while others find the same movement awkward and tiring. A fair number of players describe the story as strange and hard to follow, and some find its portrayal of psychosis striking, though others think it leans on edgy imagery. Common complaints are the controls, the stamina system, backtracking and dark, hard-to-read environments. Players usually finish it in about two hours. Recent reviews are few, so no trend is drawn from them.

    Many players
  • Story feels shallow or edgy

    Players find the story and dialogue confusing or self-consciously edgy, with too little payoff.

    Some players

    A few players
  • Dark, hard-to-read environments
