What's inside
Five things this game does well.
- 01
A single, claustrophobic location that changes the longer you stay
- 02
Diegetic UI — your only HUD is the inventory in your hands
- 03
Dynamic audio system that listens for the absence of sound
- 04
Branching night-shifts with permanent consequences
- 05
Optional CRT mode for the truly brave
