Steam Store description

You don’t know what’s behind the next door. You don’t know who’s watching. You only know the doors opened, the voice welcomed you, and the test began. Explore sealed research chambers. Solve strange cognitive trials. Read internal reports and documents left behind by those who came before - or maybe didn’t leave at all. No jump scares. No gunfights. Just you, the test, and something you can’t quite see.
