After tons wild fan speculation and many technical delays, the PS5 app from Blue Box Game Studios to the hype about the upcoming horror game, Leave, is officially here. It’s as anti-climactic as you might have expected, considering everything that led to its release.

And if it’s not good, we can add it to the pile of evidence of our collective embarrassment for future generations to look back on.
