Minimum on the Steam store: 6 GB of memory, NVIDIA GTX 1050, 6 GB of storage. Windows only.

This is an indie horror from the first person, in which you find yourself in an area called Kowloon in search of cheap housing. The inhabitants of this place only at first glance seem to be ordinary people, but if we dig deeper, we will see their real faces.
Description from the Steam store page.

What drives the score

How to read this

Grades run S to D, read from the buyer's side. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work

Holding it back
Value$8.74/hr

Reviews81% positive
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones
Refunds27 of 630 reviews
Well above the typical game's share of reviews from refunded buyers, so the score takes a small dock

The value story

The lowest price on record is $2.09, set in December 2025. Its cuts run 40 percent off as a rule. There have been 23 in the 3 years tracked, about 7 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 2 weeks ago.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 35 percent on value. It is better reviewed than 72 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, From The Darkness ($6.99, scores 61) beats it on value, while it beats Uncanny Tales: Cold Road ($2.99, scores 34).

27 of the 630 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written August 2023 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 9 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 1,656 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 25 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. Inside the two-hour refund window, 80 percent of the 1,541 reviews written there were positive, against 81 percent overall, and those are 87 percent of everything written about it.

What players say

The pros: - good visuals - good sounddesign - overall atmosphere The cons: - e - v - e - r - y - t - h - i - n - g The gameplay doesn't feel like it has any purpose, u just follow few notes, that's it. The atmosphere may be good, but all the "horror" comes in a way of random unexpected jumpscares or from items you have to interact with, Really just lazy. Game would have been a recommend without the awful overused...
