    The gameplay features a unique hide-and-build mechanic that adds depth and tension to the survival horror experience, requiring players to scavenge resources and strategically build barriers to stay undetected. It combines stealth, resource management, and atmospheric horror reminiscent of indie classics like Amnesia, delivering a thrilling and immersive experience despite its relatively short length.

    • “As soon as I saw you could collect wood to build barriers I was shocked at the out-of-the-box idea, as most horror games just use simple hiding mechanics.”
    • “The building shelter mechanic is really interesting and adds extra depth by requiring you to hide and be stealthy.”
    • “The gameplay and atmosphere feel like a natural evolution of indie classics like Amnesia: The Dark Descent, except now even merely hiding forces you to scavenge for and use precious resources to remain undetected.”
    • “Gameplay for chapter 1 is roughly 60-90 minutes depending on how quick you move, how often you die, and how easy you find the puzzles.”
    • “Gameplay is short so far (around 1 and a half hours) but good to get the game now if you're interested as the price will increase when the remaining chapters are released so you can get it now for cheaper.”
    • “It's a perfect October weekend game with about 100 minutes of gameplay.”
