About This Game

A highly stressful psychological horror game about addiction.

GAMEPLAY:

SURVIVE:
When the "Entity" closes in, the game transitions into a high-stakes chase sequence, demanding quick thinking and nerves of steel. Get in one of the rooms, shut the door behind, hide under anything you can find and pray the "Entity" doesn't find you.

BE STEALTHY:
Silence is your ally. Move cautiously, avoiding puddles and other potential sources of noise. The entity is drawn to disturbances, so stealth is your best chance at remaining unseen. Hug the shadows and tread lightly.

PREPARE:
The key to survival lies in your ability to study your surroundings meticulously. Keep an eye out for traps and identify hiding places where you can seek refuge. Each room holds secrets, and careful observation will be your greatest ally.



MANAGE:
Matches serve as your lifeline in the suffocating darkness. Explore the ward to collect matches scattered across various locations. Manage your resources wisely, as matches are limited, and the flickering flame will burn faster if you run.

TASKS:
Each night, a mysterious man will give you a task to complete. Each task unravels a piece of the sinister history haunting the ward and brings you one step closer to your Bliss. Get what you're asked for and return them quickly before getting caught.
