This game was CINEMA!! I thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish. The graphics were incredible and the cutscenes really helped bring the game together. I recommend this to anyone whether it's your first "horror" game or your 100th!

Honestly thought this was gonna be some tech-demo and nothing more. but its surprisingly well done for what it is, yenuinely creepy, steelar atmosphere and soundtrack/ambient.
Recommended Sep 9, 2026
One of the best short horror games I’ve ever played. Some of the shots, both in and out of cutscenes, are genuinely cinematic masterpieces. I was honestly blown away by how good it looked at times. The music was brilliant and properly unnerving, the story kept me interested throughout, and the graphics were absolutely beautiful. Just a really well made little horror game from start to finish.
