You quickly realize that something is wrong here. The air hums with unnatural silence, and the shadows on the walls move on their own.You must:Explore the eerie office complex: from standard workrooms to the luxurious director's office, from the underground laboratory to the hidden rooms on the second floor.

Absolute and utter unplayable slop. The map is ripped from Outlast, the textures don't fit very well together, the way to interact with things is really weird an finnicky because the cursor is MINISCULE, the keybinds are not changeable, the whole map including jumpscares reload when you reload from checkpoint, it is almost impossible to figure out how to progress, as key placement is completely arbitrary - shame. edit: I finished it. It was a slog and everything felt arbitrary. Can NOT recommend

Empty cubicles, overturned furniture, dim corridors, and scattered documents create a sense of quiet devastation.
