About this game
Rules For Playing
Rule #1: Trust the rules.
You won’t be told where to go, what to do, or how to do it. All information lies within the rules.
Rule #2: Don’t trust the rules.
Not every rule tells the truth. Blind obedience may lead to deception.
Rule #3: Stay alert.
As time elapses and rules shift, everything is subject to change, and nothing is absolutely safe.
Rule #4: Keep Calm
You'll have plenty of time to read the rules carefully, and we won't throw any jump scares at you. Some events might even make you chuckle :)
Rule #5: Trust your teammates.
Communicate with proximity chat, interpret rules, and complete tasks together. Everyone's alive is essential to success. Playing solo? Well, we modified rules to give you a chance.
Rule #6: Don’t trust your teammates.
They might mislead you. Don't assume they are always friendly. Sometimes, survival means choosing yourself over others.
Rule #7: Learn to give up.
The world of rules shows no mercy to those who break them. Each passing second makes the level more perilous. You probably won’t escape before you master the rules — be prepared.
Rule #8: Never give up.
Identify patterns in the rules, observe enemy movements, and make effective use of items and mechanics. Escaping might not be as impossible as it seems…

About Game Crash
Hello everyone: We’ve recently encountered several instances where laptops with Intel CPUs experience crash upon launching the game. This issue might be caused by the need to update the NPU driver. Players experiencing this issue can try updating the NPU driver (https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/794734/intel-npu-driver-windows.html). If the issue persists after updating both the NPU and graphics card drivers, please leave a comment or contact us via Discord; we’ll do our best to help resolve it. Additionally, we have noticed an issue that recent demo has a low probability of causing the host to crash during gameplay.
