About

If you enjoy J-horror built around modern tech paranoia and a steadily eerie mood, this may hit the spot; Not for you if you hate familiar genre beats or endings that can feel puzzling, like Spiral.

Pros: creepy atmosphere; strong central hook; memorable scares | Cons: formulaic at times; slow middle stretch; confusing ending
