✦ AI summary

Players praise the game's atmospheric horror design and immersive tension, finding it well-suited as a short Halloween experience. However, common complaints center on its brevity (10-20 minutes), limited scope confined mostly to a single hallway, and some technical issues including map collision bugs and unexplained keybindings that suggest incomplete features.

An excellent horror game, very immersive and mysterious where you must figure out how to escape this ritual. A game with great atmosphere and immersion that keeps you tense at various moments. It's a somewhat shorter game, so it's perfect for a rush on a Halloween night. I recommend it to all who enjoy the genre.

Cool little game! I did fall through the map once and noticed some lights underneath. Not sure if I missed something because I never reached a basement or bottom floor. I also noticed keybindings for things that were not in the game? Unless I just missed them, I am not sure what to make of that. Other than those things, it was a cool experience. Feel free to watch me play it below! Video wont be available until October 22nd at 7AM Eastern time! https://youtu.be/dqUST0HTYSE
