About This Demo

LOCKOUT

Your wife and daughter vanished a year ago. Now you wake on the floor of a dark house on a quarantined island, with no memory of how you got there. Beside your hand: a radio. On the other end: a stranger who says he can get you home.

This free opening chapter is the game's first night. Get the lights on: read what the dead left behind, crack the keypad riddle carved by the man who buried them, and restore the power. Then learn why the lights were a mistake, and what it means to hold your breath inside a locker while something that hears everything walks the room. It ends with a breaching charge and a door that was never meant to open. Around 15 to 20 minutes.

Everything here works like the full game: creatures that hunt by sound, night vision security cameras, hiding, and codes and clues that change with the difficulty.

If it gets under your skin, wishlist the full game.
