About This Demo

"Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes." — C.G. Jung

You wake in your apartment to find the world warped into something sinister. The rooms you knew now stretch into nightmares, and the creatures wandering them wear familiar faces.

  • EXPLORE A SEMI-OPEN NIGHTMARE — Navigate expansive, nonlinear levels that reward curiosity. No corridors holding your hand: find your own path while your sanity slowly slips away.

  • FIGHT WITH EVERYTHING YOU HAVE — High-stakes combat where every bullet counts. Read your enemies, manage your sanity, and know when to run.

  • SCAVENGE, CRAFT, SURVIVE — Scarce resources force hard choices. Customize your loadout from a wide range of weapons and equipment to match your playstyle.

Will you lose yourself to madness and delusion, or confront the truth and find salvation?
