A very intriguing beginning to a mystery I’m looking forward to discovering more of. What begins as an escape room puzzler leads to conspiracies and something perhaps supernatural. A very enjoyable demo. The trailer teases so many more interesting areas to explore that I’ll definitely be looking out for the full release.

I'm very interested in buying the full version but I have two big issues with the demo. #1 There's no head based locomotion option. I keep accidentally strafing when I move my hand. #2 The graphics look really "vintage" for 2026. The lack of shadows cast by the flashlight is especially dated looking. Even the Steam VR trailer looks like Quest 2 game. If the full version gets a graphical upgrade to take advantage of the Quest 3's hardware and an option for head based locomotion is added I'll give it a try.
