A tightly designed, minimalist horror game with a clever premise. The developer announced that they'll be pulling the game from Steam very soon, so get it while you can. This 2015 indie game is already dirt cheap, but now it's even 70% off!

Really cool game, I am sad to see it leaving Steam (I know I will still have it, but it deserves an audience). + Really interesting concept ("Amnesia" meets Bat simulator meets Minimalist game design) + Interesting level design + Looks and sounds solid, given the concept I am struggling to find the downsides. But if I had to: - Unclear lore, I guess... - Once you learn how to avoid enemies, it is not that scary anymore. - It is great "experience" and "high concept" game, but mot much of a "puzzle" game

Fun game but towards the end the game starts to use more "gotcha" moments where the player is going to die at least once each level if they haven't played before. personally not a fan of that but I still loved the game. Very unique concept.
