April 2025

It feels like stepping into a strange, beautiful dream where everything is much bigger and much scarier than you. The world is dark but full of character, with every room telling a story without saying a word. The style is so unique (part creepy, part charming) and it pulls you in with just a glance. You never quite know what to expect, and that mystery makes every step feel special. The gameplay is simple but clever, mixing platforming with smart little puzzles that never feel out of place. It keeps you moving, thinking, and reacting all at once. There are moments when your heart races, not because of a big fight, but because you’re trying to escape something towering and terrifying. That mix of quiet thinking and sudden adrenaline is rare and done so well here. It’s not just another horror game, it’s an experience, built with so much love for atmosphere, detail, and emotion. It leaves you wide-eyed, a little breathless, and eager to dive back into the dark.
