- Interact with the environment by tapping objects and exploring each room until you find ways to advance.
Core features and interface

- Pause and resume the session whenever you need; your progress is saved between sittings.
- No advertisements interrupt gameplay, keeping the tension and immersion intact.

Atmosphere and design
The game leans heavily into a dark, unsettling tone supported by moody visuals and sound design. The lab is staged to feel oppressive and unnerving, with scenes that emphasize the horrific nature of Dr. Holmes’ experiments.
Practical details and tips
- Recommended for two players only — puzzles are designed around cooperation and information sharing.
- Best experienced with a stable internet connection when playing remotely so you don’t lose sync with your partner.
- If you get stuck, describe what each of you sees aloud; many solutions come from combining separate observations.
