Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We want player feedback to guide the development process as we build this game. Early Access progress, while including basic gameplay mechanics, will allow us to shape the game's future.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Approximately, we are planning to have a 6 to 12-month-long Early Access period. But the development progress can vary according to feedback and the game's needs.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The planned full version will include new places, new creature behaviors, more puzzles, and deeper gameplay components. Story layer, atmosphere, and sound design will be advanced.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game has a complete gameplay loop that can be started and finished. For now, there is: a creature mechanic, puzzles, and only one playable map. In order to serve a decent multiplayer experience, the optimization and bug-fixing period is ongoing.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“During Early Access, the game is planned to have a more affordable price. With the full version, content and game scope will be increased; thus, an increase in price is expected, but nothing is precise at the moment.
”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Community will be the center of attention in the project. We will check player feedback and reviews perpetually, bring regular updates, and assess the game with the help of surveys. We are planning to shape the development process transparently with the reviews coming from the Discord server, Steam discussions, and other social channels. Especially, the community will have an impact on content balancing, bug reports, and gameplay decisions.”

About This Game

This game is a psychological horror experience played from a first-person perspective, supporting 1 to 4 players in online co-op. Players awaken in an unknown underground research facility with no memory and must work together to escape this sealed system.

A dangerous entity roams the facility, capable of detecting players through sound and movement. There is no direct way to fight it; however, its weaknesses can be discovered and used to neutralize it. These weaknesses can be observed with careful attention, while certain tools may assist the process—at the cost of drawing unwanted attention.

Neutralizing the entity is only one way to escape. Players can also uncover alternative exits by reading notes and interacting with the environment. Each escape path requires overcoming systems and obstacles beforehand, and attempting to bypass them unprepared may lead to deadly consequences.

Throughout the game, players will encounter environmental puzzles to access new areas or activate systems. Your path is shaped entirely by your investigation, attention to detail, and cooperation with your team.

Key Features:

  • 1–4 player online co-op support

  • Dynamic AI entity triggered by sound

  • Decision-driven, multiple escape routes

  • Environmental puzzles and system interactions

  • Stealth, awareness, and teamwork-focused gameplay

  • First-person psychological horror experience
