Rating Summary
This is a horror adventure game in which players help a teenager find her missing friend in an abandoned apartment building. From a first-person perspective, players explore dark corridors and interact with objects to retrace the friend's steps. As players traverse the environment, they can encounter a roaming creature that chases them down, killing them with its spiked arm. Blood is depicted on players' screen during stabbings; some environments depict blood stains on walls, floors, and bathtubs. The game contains dark thematic elements, with references/depictions to bullying, self-harm, and suicide: a character jumping off a building; a first-person depiction of a character putting a razor to her wrist before fading to black. The words “f**k” and “sh*t” are heard in the game.
