About This Game

As an industrial security agent, you have been tasked with infiltrating a factory that was abruptly shut down five years ago to retrieve important technical documents.

You are following in the footsteps of the missing advance team. Overcome the instinctive human fear of the dark and the unknown, secure the documents deep within the pitch-black factory, and escape safely.

Search and Escape

You must search the factory, retrieve the technical documents, and escape without being discovered by 'Him'. However, 'He' will not simply let you walk out with the documents intact.

Device

Utilize the device provided to aid your mission. Check your objectives, view the factory map to find your way, acquire hidden security codes, and access the factory's systems to disable the security.

Flashlight

In this pitch-black factory where you can't see an inch in front of you, this will be your only tool for visibility. It has unlimited battery life, so you can use it throughout your entire mission.

CCTV

You can check the CCTVs scattered throughout the factory using the monitors in the manager's office. Use them to track 'His' movements and routes, allowing you to move safely. However, this feature will be unavailable if the factory loses power.

'Him'

'He' roams all over the factory, and the moment he spots you, he will charge at you with an axe. Always stay alert and be careful of your surroundings.

There are no safe zones within this factory. The moment you enter the area to perform your mission, you will face all sorts of dangers, and you are the only one capable of carrying out this task. This mission does not demand much. It does not require brilliant intellect; it requires only your courage. Push your nerves to the absolute limit and complete this mission.

Good luck.
