Explore, admire and listen. Relaxing. Uncanny. Eerie. Hypnotic. Immersive. No monsters chasing you or jumping towards at your screen, but the game can feel oppressive at times by invoking fears of getting lost, the dark, tight spaces and outwordly architecture. Liminal spaces, inspired by backrooms.
