You will play as Bernard Thorne, an old Vietnam War veteran bound in a motorized wheelchair. Navigate through his house and find the traces of his guilt-ridden past. Endure the nightmares that still haunt him as he desperately finds a way to climb up the attic for reasons he does not know.
Bernard Thorne just got discharged from the hospital after recovering from falling down the stairs of his house. As usual, he wakes up from his sleep in the middle of the night. Normally he would read a book and wait for the sunrise, but tonight is different. Tonight, he has to climb up the attic.

Wirklich emotional und einfach ehrlich menschlich - Als Horrorgame mechanisch ein wirklich cooles Konzept, schwerbehindert und starke Probleme in der Motorik gibt viele gute Setups für stressige Segmente, aber der wahre Gewinner des Games ist definitiv die Story. Es erzählt am Ende keine super neue Geschichte, aber die Umsetzung ist wirklich super solide und einfach.. ja, menschlich. Sein Umfeld besteht nicht aus Twists oder Intrigen, alle wollen einfach das Beste für das Kerlchen und seine inneren Dämonen machen alle Sinn und sind charakterlich stark erklärt. Selten hoffe ich in Horrorgames auf ein happy end, aber das hier war eins davon - was wirklich für die Charakterisierung des Protagonisten spricht. Wirklich gut, der mittlere Horrorpart zieht sich zwar etwas und es wirkt durchgehend etwas amateurhaft, aber die Seele und das Herz des Games sind absolut am richtigen Fleck. 8/10 - Komplette Review und Analyse hier: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45Mc6Y9W3Eg
A truly unique game with amazing storytelling. One of the levels had my heart pounding because of how intense and stressful a specific task was. I really love how this game was put together. it’s definitely a must-play. A stressful, emotional, and depressing roller coaster in the best way possible!
I cried at the very end, and I've never cried from a game before. 10/10.
A friend recommended this to me, and I wasn’t prepared for it. It tackles grief and PTSD in a way that feels real and personal, and it hit me harder than I expected. I really appreciate the honest, human message it carries. Go in completely blind. It’s absolutely worth experiencing.
One of the levels almost took me out of the experience because of the difficulty (that could have just been me being bad at games), but in the end, it didn't. Bernard's story broke my heart in two and made me cry like a little child. I can only say, the few hours I spent playing this instead of sleeping, were definitely worth it.
挺好的一款恐怖游戏,虽然部分环节的设计和交互让我有些难受,但整体来说还行。恐怖桥段的设计依旧厉害,结局的情感爆发也不错 懦弱的伯纳德索恩,他恨自己害死了妻子,恨自己成为了儿子的累赘 但在战场上,他还是救了一位异国他乡的士兵 他足够勇敢,足够善良,却不足以驱散战争带来的后遗症
I haven't cried during a game for along time now, but this one brought tears to my eyes! A deeply moving story of loss and moving on. I found this experience to be deeply moving and terrifying at the same time! Please, please, please play this game! You will not regret it!
The story is truly heartbreaking. Loved how it unfolded through the letters, which were very well written, and how the grief and traumas were made visible by the end. :') from, mono
a little janky but good story and atmosphere
決して最先端のビジュアルでも、演出が派手なわけでも、ロケーションが豪華なわけでもない、素朴に作られた作品ですが、間違いなく素晴らしかったです。手紙という人間の情念が込められた媒体を通じて語られる愛の物語でした。
