Dec. 2024

Pretty good indie game. Short, but with a very uneasy atmosphere. I was pleasantly surprised that there weren't any loud noise jumpscares.

Nov. 2024

very short, it only takes 31 minutes to beat this game somewhat cheap jumpscare creepy atmosphere no autosave please finish this game in one sitting bad and unresponsive keyboard control, controller recommended overall 5/10 because you get what you paid for

Sept. 2024

They did a good job here. Navigation can be tough in the later chapters, but it's a system of caves so you'd expect that. For less than £2 this is pretty much a no-brainer.

Aug. 2024

Very short, very limited gameplay, and very slow gameplay. I am recommending it for the tension and scares. I was also surprised with where the story went. Plays well on the steam deck

Now if you love VHS style horror games like myself, you will just fall in love with this game like i did. This game has you searching the depths of a mysterious cave looking for a missing person. You control a little drone with a camera attached to the top of it. As you search the pitch black cave and find dark and twisted things that have happened there. I hope the developers continue this story somehow, because this is one of the coolest concepts that i have seen in a indie game so far. This game is super cheap so you could wait for a steam sale if you want but you don't really need to. Now the only negative i have with this game is the controls are not exactly great, pretty clunky to be honest. But I could understand someone saying that maybe its more immersive because you are piloting a drone. The controls just weren't for me, all in all I am a big fan and hope the developers make another game as cool as this. :)
