A really great, atmospheric experience. Has the vibe of walking alone on a trail and just feeling something is "off" add in the great visual style with the LIDAR mechanic and this is just a great time. Highly recommended for any horror fans or just fans of atmospheric games narrative games like Firewatch

Great atmosphere and aesthetic. Introduces new elements at just the right pace. Unique identity from any other walking simulator I've ever played. Found myself wondering if this technology could be viable in real life. Would be helpful when I need to go to the bathroom at 3:00 A.M.

It's a bit more like a tech demo with a lot of ambiance. But very cool and worth throwing a few dollars at.

One of the more intriguing concepts for a horror game I've ever seen. Definitely worth the low price and time investment.

Walking simulator with an interesting concept. The story is kinda generic, but it's a neat, short experience.

After recently getting a Meta Quest 3, I played this through again in VR and loved it all over again. Brilliant game and concept. Really shines in VR and was loads of fun! Even though there is no Jump or smooth walking in VR mode, using the short Teleport function was initially a bit annoying, but I got the hang of it quickly and then it was fine.
Get it! Fun game in both normal play through as well as in VR. Even my 70 year old father in law got stuck into the VR mode and played a few hours too. :)

It's a really cool concept, using LIDAR to paint your way through a pitch black environment, and it was fun to play around with the scanner in VR. I spent a lot of time just fully fleshing out certain areas.
I wouldn't categorize it has a horror game, but it does instill an eerie feeling in situations.
Not much of a story, save for some text-based thoughts of the player character, which are sparse.
It's a short game. I spent 3 hours on my playthrough, and I played slowly, exploring everything. But for a few bucks, it's worth the price, in my opinion.

Short, but goddamit it's great. It takes your fobias twists it on max and makes you go further. The story is interesting and the end just makes it PERFECT. I will happily play it again after some time, but first feel is just best for this game.
