Free?

How do I even get to play this for free?! This game is amazing! I’m only five minutes into it and love the game!

Amazing visuals and performance!

Only complaint is that you can see the ray tracing flicker in the distance but other than that its literally perfect.

Such a fun game

I really wish there were more games like this, specifically exploring dream core type areas without any jump scares (not that I mind these but the exploring is fun) even without the paid things it’s fun, and no ads whatsoever

Really cool

The fact this game is mobile is awesome. I love the back rooms vibe— and all the pools. It’s very eerie but peaceful at the same time, and it’s really well made. Keep making games. I wonder, if this game was multiplayer…
