A short psychological horror walking sim with puzzle elements. 

You awaken in a strange, forgotten place, with no memory of how you got there. As you explore its dark corners, you’ll uncover fragments of the past—perhaps even the truth you’ve buried deep. 

But some truths are more than you bargained for…

Standard WASD and FPS controls.

very scary

very nice visual aesthetic and enemies idea, but for the most part just walking around is a bit boring and notes feel rather cliche... Also in the (end?) one them got me and the game just stuck, I could not move but could look around...

I think it would play much better if focus was more on the gameplay (more enemies in corridors, needing to walk through crowds, etc) and the panic factor on one of them chasing you (but you don't know where is it coming from), but maybe that's just my taste (   ͡° ͜  ʖ   ͡° )

Increíble atmosfera, los sonidos de los pasos eran muy aterradores

Gracias!

Cool game!

Pretty sure I broke the game at the end 😅

haha oh yeah sorry about that. You were just supposed to stay there on the platform but you didn't miss much :D

Thanks for playing :)

Did I shoot the right mannequins? 😅

Thank you for making this game, I enjoyed it a lot.

Thank you for playing it :)

Thanks for playing. Hope you liked it :)

Enjoyed the game. Just a bit confused on the story, but I'm just dumb keep up the great work.

Thanks. Loved the video. You are not dumb, the story is just intentionally vague and cryptic. :D Your theories got pretty close to our intent though.

Its spooky season!! I will be playing this live tomorrow 10/1 around 630-7 PM EST.

Nice! I hope you take your time with the game and figure out the mechanics. I don't think anyone has figured out how mannequins work yet. Its all in the notes. 

Though to be fair I could have done a better job of explaining it.

Surprisingly creepy, well made design and immersive experience - can't get enough stiffness around the hallways 😂 (Bad pun, sorry)

Refreshing take on the mannequin horror. Really liked the controls, overall theme and definitely had a fun time. Didn't complete the game fully, just wanted to showcase, but highly recommend everyone to play. 

Best of luck with the future games!

Thanks :) That was a great playthrough. Best of luck with your channel as well.

nice

Thanks for playing the game. Did you get that bug even in a retry afterwards?

It appears that web build is just broken at that point in game. I'm taking it down for now. Please try the downloaded versions if you can. Thanks for your help in finding this. :)

Sorry for spamming. But web build is also fixed now. Hope you will enjoy the rest of the game :)

Nice very good game and well made well done keep it up!

Thanks! Glad you liked it :)
