What players say
This game is super unique and I loved it, bizarre/unsettling atmosphere and not really something I can compare to anything else. Don't take my playtime into account as I tend to have a lot of idle time in games, but I do highly recommend.
First ending start to finish took me an hour and ten minutes, didn't see any bugs, and there's checkpoints especially at the end so you can get most of the endings one after the other. Complete opposite experience from some of the other reviewers and not sure why.
A fun short horror game about working up in the mountain while slowly discovering secrets. Mostly a walking sim and you stay in the same area so there isn't much exploring.
