Unique horror aspects in this game are meant to create a scary and stressful environment by means of sound mixed with light. Unimaginable events can occur at any moment; hence, players have to be continuously alert. It is difficult for players to take their eyes off the screen since the enigmatic personalities and terrifying monsters in the institution are meticulously designed from appearance to action.
The game's material centers on Timokha's grandfather's haunting of terrible memories from his past, who formerly held great influence over this institution. Players must gather bits of the story—from ancient documents and pictures to interactive places that can set off flashbacks for the main character—over five nights. These little elements not only advance the story but also offer the required hints to get the lad out of his perilous circumstances.
