    This game made me feel vaguely divorced for the vast majority of it's runtime, then lost, then very free. very evocative, 10 rusty nails out of 10.

    it was good, i think it does what it does intelligently. i got confused and took long enough finding a plank that i realized that there's no actual danger and it took me out of the horror to a large extent for the rest of the game but i loved the concept and it didnt overstay its welcome. worth spending the time with it

    Cool idea, but way too expensive for a game you can finish in 30 minutes. It's one of those "all in le head" horror games, but the psycological aspect is overall very well done and the game actually gets you to think deeper about some of the motives in it. Unfortunately it's kind of rough around the edges and if you dislike ambiguous "make of it what you will" stories you might want to pass on this one.
