Dec. 2024

A very quick 20~30 minute game that is a decent take on analog horror. Keyboard controls are a mess and unintuitive to navigate, so a controller is extremely recommended. However, it's still good horror to wander around and absorb the scenery as you putt along in the cave crawler. There are definitely worse ways to burn $2.

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.

Great atmosphere, suspenseful, scares feel earned and have great payoff. Overall, great short horror experience. Seeing complaints about the price point, but it's cheaper than a movie rental and way cheaper than movie tickets. However, I can't speak for people paying with anything other than USD.

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. :)
