About the game
What does it feel like to find yourself in hell? You don't feel the wind, you don't see the sun. No more hearing child's laughter. No memory of those who once were your friends and family.
Minimum specs
Minimum on the Steam store: 2 GB of memory, Direct X 9.0c compliant video card with 512 MB of RAM, 2 GB of storage. Windows only.
The value story
It has been discounted 98 times in the 11 years tracked here. The median cut across all of them is 51 percent, about 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.
It is cheaper than 82 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 99 percent. On the same math The Moon Sliver ($1.99, scores 41) and Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs ($19.99, scores 20) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.

What players say
1.5/5 Extremely boring indie-horror that could only be 'scary' when played by screamy youtubers. 1.5 for nostalgia for that youtube era and for the fact that the game has cards.
2 more reviews, 2 not recommended
This game is a huge buggy mess. Crashes when saving, can't even reach level 3. Do not recommend it.
Another generic low effort horror game with a generic setting. The optimization is bad, and it will crash on you if you play for more than 15 minutes. Not much to see here.
Steam reviews, mixed to its ratio and rotated daily. Opinions are theirs.
No data upstream: critic score (Metacritic), achievement curve (Steam global achievements).
