The horror is slow, cerebral, and suffocating: the game makes you question what’s real through sanity effects and fragmented clues, while the setting leans on isolation and paranoia. Instead of constant attacks, it builds dread by implying that the truth you’re uncovering is bigger, older, and far less human than you are.
