What players say

Mixed reception: players find the atmosphere and eerie setting appealing, but many call it too short, confusing to follow and buggy.

Many players like the atmosphere and the bleak post-Soviet apartment setting, and several enjoy the tense chase near the end and the unsettling build-up of routine chores. Complaints centre on the tiny length, with most runs lasting around ten minutes, and on instructions that vanish too quickly, leaving players unsure what to do next. Some report bugs such as triggers failing to fire, subtitles appearing at the wrong moment, sprinting not working and a softlock. Being sent back to the start after dying without a checkpoint also frustrates people. Many recommend it only because it is free and quick, and those who expected a longer horror experience are disappointed.

Praised

    Some players

Criticised

  • Far too short

    Most playthroughs take around ten minutes, and many feel it ends before it starts.

    Many players
  • Unclear instructions

    Tasks vanish too fast, there is no quest log, and objectives such as taking off socks are hard to understand.

    Many players
  • Bugs and technical problems

    Players report broken triggers, subtitles at the wrong time, non-working sprint, softlocks and poor optimisation.

    Many players
  • No checkpoints after death

    Dying sends players back to the very start, which many find frustrating for such a short game.

    Some players
Who it suits
Suited to players who want a quick, free horror experience with an unsettling atmosphere and do not mind rough edges.
Who should skip it
Skip it if you expect a longer horror game, clear guidance or a polished, bug-free experience.
