David Hoover moves into a new apartment during a difficult period in his life. Strange events in the building lead him to ask about the former tenant, then set out to find the man and understand what happened.
Explore apartments and other locations, investigate clues, talk with people David meets, and solve puzzles by interacting with the environment and using items. The search unfolds as a 2D horror adventure with tense pursuits and combat encounters.
As David follows the trail, the mystery connects with the lives of people he encounters. The game has multiple endings, and a second playthrough can reveal additional scenes and a different ending.
Players often praise the story for its emotional themes and memorable characters, and describe the horror atmosphere as effective and suspenseful. Puzzles and exploration are enjoyable for some, though others find the clues unclear and the backtracking frustrating. Some also criticize the combat or feel that replaying the game for extra scenes is repetitive.
"There was a crooked man,
and he walked a crooked mile.
He found a crooked sixpence upon a crooked stile.
He bought a crooked cat,
which caught a crooked mouse,
and they all lived together
in a little crooked house. "
