❤ Gameplay Overview

Players take on the role of a caregiver visiting an elderly patient in his home. The gameplay primarily revolves around exploring the patient's cluttered, labyrinthine house, interacting with objects, and solving puzzles to progress the story.

❤ Exploration and Atmosphere

Reviewers praised the highly detailed, but confusing, layout of the patient's house. The game utilizes a VHS-style visual filter to create an immersive, unsettling atmosphere. Players describe feeling an "uncanny" and psychological sense of horror as they navigate the environment.

❤ Puzzle Solving

Solving puzzles is a core part of the gameplay experience. Players must locate and use various objects within the environment to advance the story. Reviewers noted that the puzzles, while not overly complex, are well-designed and fit naturally within the game's narrative and setting. However, some players found certain puzzles, such as the "clock puzzle" towards the end, to be particularly challenging and frustrating.

❤ Item Collection

In addition to puzzle-solving, the game features a light "collect-a-thon" element. Players can find various trading cards hidden throughout the environment, which provide additional context and backstory. Reviewers pointed out that these cards are written in Japanese, limiting their accessibility for non-Japanese speaking players.

❤ Pacing and Difficulty

The game is described as relatively short, with playtimes ranging from 1-3 hours. Reviewers praised the well-balanced pacing, as the game slowly builds tension and atmosphere before reaching a more intense and stressful climax towards the end. Overall, the game is considered to be on the easier side, though the final sequence involving the "clock puzzle" is noted as being particularly challenging.

❤ Technical Performance

While most reviewers did not report any major technical issues, a few players mentioned encountering occasional bugs and glitches, such as getting stuck in the environment or having the flashlight disappear. However, these problems were generally minor and did not significantly detract from the overall experience.
