About this game
Survival Horror Campaign
Experience a 3rd-person survival horror action game across 3 story-driven acts, offering tens of hours of gameplay with three difficulty modes to choose from.
Strategic Inventory Management
With scarce resources and tight inventory space, every decision matters - making every bullet count can mean the difference between life and death.
Garment Crafting & Repair
Repairing and crafting garments isn’t just cosmetic - it’s essential to survival, adding a unique strategic layer to the horror experience.
Deadly Hide-and-Seek
In Act 2, face a special challenge where brute force won’t work. Outsmart towering bosses in tense hide-and-seek encounters, relying on sharp judgment and quick decisions to survive.
The game embraces a sensual atmosphere, but its core focus is survival horror gameplay rather than explicit nudity.
