What it feels like

Enigmatic secrets and half-glimpsed truths about the town and its inhabitants permeate the experience. The constant threat of detection and being stalked by an adaptive AI creates jittery unease throughout play. An active present threat in the form of both the creature stalking you and the dangerous neighbors creates sustained unease.
