After a car accident, a father wakes in an abandoned mansion and hears his missing daughter calling from deeper inside. He explores the house in search of her while uncovering its supernatural history.
Progress comes from searching rooms for clues and useful objects, solving puzzles, and finding ways past locked doors and traps. Notes and other discoveries gradually reveal details about the mansion and the people connected to it.
Ghosts threaten the player during exploration, so survival involves hiding or getting away rather than fighting them directly. The player can also gather clues and objects to perform sealing rituals, while a safe room serves as a place to save manually.
Players who enjoyed the game often point to its eerie Chinese-mansion setting and its use of paper dolls, traditional furnishings, lighting, and sound to create tension. Some also enjoy searching for clues, solving puzzles, and gradually piecing together the household’s story. Other players find the puzzles and navigation unclear, and the slow movement, pursuit sequences, and save system frequently frustrate them, so reactions to the overall experience vary.
