User Reviews
ScaryFan88 – 8/10
“The atmosphere is so tense I felt like I was running with Kei. The concept of immortality done realistically—you can't help but feel dread for him. Can't wait for Part 2!”
GoreHound – 7/10
“Not as much gore as I expected, but the psychological horror more than makes up for it. The way the government treats the demi-humans is terrifying. Solid setup, but it felt a bit slow in the middle.”
NightOwl – 7.5/10
“I loved the moral dilemmas and the fear of being hunted. The animation is clean but not flashy—it fits the creepy tone. Some parts were a little too dialogue heavy for my taste, but overall it was a gripping watch.”
AnimeHunter – 8/10
“As a fan of horror anime, this really delivered. The sense of paranoia and isolation was palpable. Kei is a relatable protagonist, and the cliffhanger left me wanting more. Definitely recommend if you like survival horror with a sci-fi twist.”
