At under an hour long, this is a bite-sized horror experience that prioritizes atmosphere over complexity and game mechanics.I can't believe that there would still be a short walking simulator out there to scare the c..p out of me.Abandoned settings – think creaking hallways and flickering lights – immerse You in a slow-burn nightmare, punctuated by subtle scares and cryptic…The opening act shine with tense exploration, clever environmental storytelling and moments of genuine dread.Why it fits
