“really liked this game. tricky and investigative, with plenty of jumpscares and some chase scenes. similar to Painscreek Killings, but a bit shorter. definitely recommend!”
— a player, Steam review · 2 hrs played“This is a great, quick game. Can be completed in an afternoon. The story and mystery are really well-written, and it's just the right amount of spooky without many jump scares.”
