About this game
Gameplay
Survive:
You are alone, trapped in your own home, waiting for "help" to arrive. To make it through the night, you must keep your fear in check and ensure no unwelcome presence lingers for too long. Every second in the dark brings you closer to the unknown.
Manage:
Your home is your only refuge, but the power supply is limited. You must carefully ration your energy, deciding which rooms to keep lit and which to let fall into darkness. Every flicker of light could mean the difference between safety and exposure. Run out of fuel, and you may not get another chance.
Sanity:
Windows keep opening… but did you forget to close them, or is something else inside with you? Keep them shut at all costs. If you let them stay open too long, you might see something you were never meant to. And whatever happens—do not look outside.
Fear:
Fear is more than a feeling—it’s an invitation. If you let the terror take hold, It will take notice. Things that shouldn’t be there begin to manifest. If you see them, make them disappear quickly. Do not stare. Do not hesitate. If you let them stay, you may not be able to tell what’s real anymore.
Story
