What is The Gap?

This first-person horror walking simulator follows a linear story in a seemingly abandoned house, where you search for your missing daughter after receiving a letter. You explore dark rooms using a small body light, sometimes entering near-total darkness to progress. A separate Free Roam mode lets you explore without following the story.
