A really atmospheric and unique addition to the lo-fi indie horror genre! Navigating the pitch-black corridors of a decaying world while trying to survive an unsettling paranormal entity is just as tense as it sounds. The retro, pixelated levels are beautifully designed, and trying to explore with a total lack of UI while dealing with limited visibility adds a great sense of urgency and isolation. It is the perfect indie arcade horror for passing the time, testing your nerves, and soaking in that heavy PS1-era atmosphere. Definitely recommended!2 found this helpful

I love a good puzzle and figuring out vague hints and all, but the mystery and mystique of this game seems a bit out of left field. The only other saving grace for my recommendation is its lack of price. [h1]#memorycard[…1 found this helpful
