About

In this VR horror puzzle game, it's just another day of you, your trusty stream chat, and a young woman trapped in an experimental torture-test to see when she'll break. Can you save her?

It was supposed to be simple. The Crab 'n Grab, a trashy seafood restaurant a thousand miles from the sea. But your chat kept telling you to take a look. That something more is brewing underneath the surface. That there's something ""there"" there. And after all, isn't it your job to dive headfirst into danger? Isn't that the thrill?...

Prices the Meta Store charges in each currency, not conversions from USD. A currency not checked in the last 3 days is left out. Lowest tracked starts in November 2024. Outside USD, few or no prices were recorded from July 2025 to October 2026 (January to October 2026 for CAD), so sales in that period can be missing.
