Don't Turn Back is a short single-player, story-driven psychological horror experience. You play as Bethany, A young woman who has just inherited her grandfather's mansion. While moving into the mansion, you begin to experience strange occurrences and events that lead you deeper and deeper into the mansion.
Environment
The mansion of Don't Turn Back is designed to be played in one continuous sitting. Portions of the mansion contain open spaces with lots of light as well as dark claustrophobic spaces. It is important to pay attention to the environment, as we utilize sound and subtle changes to progress the story. 
Storyline
When Bethany returns to her childhood home, she starts to realize something is off. Different. Someone or something in the manor is hunting her. Lurking in the shadows. Uncover the past and escape the terror in this short, first-person interactive horror story.
Gameplay
While playing Don't Turn Back, you will need to withstand the jumpscares and sounds that have been designed and created to create an intense and immersive experience. You won't have any weapons to protect yourself, and you won't have any way to avoid events. You are armed with only a flashlight and your own bravery.
