Horror is one of the most famous video game genres to ever exist, and through the years, it has branched out to many subgenres. These subgenres include survival horror and psychological horror. Today's #SteamSpotlight feature falls into the latter.
In this game, you don't get any weapons. You don't get to fight back. But even with such circumstances, you need to help yourself and your crew survive an unimaginable horror.

No Weapons to Fight Back
As previously mentioned, you don't get to have any weapons as you to try to fight this unknown horror. All you can do is avoid it, sneak around it, and even try to distract it.
You don't get to have any superpower or special ability as well. All you can do is run, climb, and swim in your quest for survival.
