A downloadable game for Windows

Download NowName your own price

You were visited by a creature from another dimension, where light is not welcomed. And now she will follow you everywhere, so the only way out is to get rid of her. Set a trap using found materials, then leave the place. Don't forget she may chase and kill you whenever she heard your steps, or saw the beam of your flashlight...


Gameplay

A first person horror game, based on own dreams, nightmares, you name it. Goal is to find various things (look in cabinets and storages) and use them to stop the chaser.

She will try to kill you as well, but can only see you in light - or when you make too much noise - so try to lay low. Whenever you encounter her, turn off your flashlight and silently hide in omnipresent shadow. No health points or anything; it is a sudden death mode.

You may think it's better to keep your flashlight always off, but in many cases you will not see anything. Be calm and careful, use your own strategy to beat the game.


Key features

  • Overwhelming, dream-alike, horror/thriller atmosphere
  • Several ways to beat each of 3 different maps - even if you remember solutions, it still requires time and attention to pass the level
  • Randomized behavior of chaser that makes gameplay more unpredictable
  • Immersive audio design
  • Configurable difficulty levels - adjust your opponent's behavior from normal to hardcore in various ways

Controls

  • Game uses mouse and keyboard for steering; gamepad might be supported in future. Options for lefthanded people are also supported, but controls aren't configurable.
  • WSAD/arrows to move, mouse to look around.
  • Left or right Shift to run (hold).
  • E/Numpad 0 to perform action (e.g. pick object, toggle lamp...)
  • F/Right Ctrl to toggle flashlight.
  • I/Tab/Numpad "." to see inventory (hold).
  • Q/Escape/End to pause game.

System requirements (recommended)

IMPORTANT: this is testing environment configuration. Game may run smoothly in 1920x1080 even if your computer does not meet the following requirements.

  • OS: Windows 10
  • Processor: Intel Core i5 2.5-3.0GHz, equivalent or better
  • RAM: 4GB + OS requirement (total of 8GB is more than enough)
  • Video graphics card: Geforce 1050GTX/2GB VRAM, equivalent or better (series 500-900 should also work with lower resolution, if drivers apply)
  • HDD: at least 2GB of free space
  • DirectX 11 or 12
  • .NET 3.5

First game session finished...
I really like it so far, going into higher difficulties next time.
Some stuff I want to share:
The footsteps sounds very mono and you can't tell if she is nearby or walking away from you, I had some problems to get the game started (Nvidia grrr..)
BUT this is a awesome Indie-Horror game so far! Thumbs up!

i really want to play more, though the performance is holding me back if i don’t play in 800x600 :( still super cool you came out with a game. i love the atmosphere, it feels very ‘you’
