about this game

A VR horror experience combining psychological terror with survival mechanics in a desert setting. You're trapped in a desert valley alongside a Scolomorph, an intelligent insectoid predator. Explore villages, avoid the hunter, and escape using stealth, audio cues, and minimal lighting. An intense and scary experience, not for the faint of heart.
