You enter a forest alone to investigate a local legend about missing children whose ghosts are said to appear at night. Explore the woods and try to survive until morning.
Candlelight is your protection from the darkness and the fear it brings, but candles burn down, so you must search for more. The spirits hunt you, and each has different behaviors that call for different ways of evading them.
As the night progresses, new threats appear. Search the forest for keepsakes and other clues that gradually reveal more about the missing children and their story.
Several reviewers praise the forest atmosphere and sustained tension, often noting the candlelight, darkness, and sound design as key to the experience. Players also enjoy learning how different ghosts behave and finding collectibles that add to the story. Others find the running and evasion repetitive or the survival rules unclear, and some criticize bugs or jump scares that become predictable.
