About This Game

THE HALLWAY is a chilling, text-based psychological horror experience set inside a dark, narrow corridor.

You take on the role of an unnamed protagonist, wandering through an oppressive and unfamiliar place.

But no matter how far you go, something drags you back.

Over and over again.

THE HALLWAY slowly unravels a disturbing mystery surrounding your character, revealing pieces of the truth through environmental changes, hidden details, strange encounters, and memories.

The deeper you go, the more familiar everything becomes.

And the more you begin to wonder...

Was the hallway ever a hallway at all?

THE HALLWAY doesn't simply repeat.

It evolves.

Throughout the game, you'll be brought back to the place where you first woke up.

But things won't always be the same.

What was once familiar may not be there the next time you return.

Reality isn't always reliable.

Throughout your journey, random hallucinations and reality glitches can occur, creating unexpected encounters and altering what you see.

These events can reveal additional pieces of the story while ensuring that different playthroughs can contain different experiences.

You never know what will change next.

THE HALLWAY features puzzles designed around the world and its story rather than existing simply to slow you down.

Discover clues and use what you've learned to uncover what the hallway is hiding.

A Memory System records important discoveries throughout your journey, helping you piece together clues and solve puzzles without forcing you to memorize everything yourself.

Every decision you make is tracked by a hidden psychological system.

Three distinct stats influence your journey:

INSTABILITY
ACCEPTANCE
AVOIDANCE

Your choices can affect more than just dialogue.

They can change:

  • Environments

  • Events

  • Dialogue

  • Puzzles

  • Available paths

  • And ultimately, your ending

There are four possible endings, each reflecting the path you took through the hallway.

Which one will you reach?

Sound is a major part of the experience.

THE HALLWAY features dynamic audio that changes alongside the game, including a soundtrack composed specifically for the game.

Different loops, locations, events, hallucinations, and endings can trigger different sounds and music.

Sometimes the most frightening thing isn't what you see.

It's what you hear.

There is more to THE HALLWAY than what is immediately presented to you.

Curious players may discover secret commands, hidden areas, unusual interactions, and other pieces of content scattered throughout the game.

Some discoveries can alter your journey.

THE HALLWAY features 20 unlockable Steam Achievements designed to encourage exploration and replayability.

Don't be afraid to explore and experiment. Make different choices. Discover secrets. Reach different endings.
