Overview

About this game

Trapped in Darkness
You find yourself lost in a dense, eerie forest during a heavy rainstorm. In the distance, you see the light of an old, secluded house. Seeking shelter from the storm, you step inside, but quickly realize it’s a trap. A demonic entity has imprisoned you within the house, and the only way forward is through a series of rooms filled with dark secrets and intricate puzzles.

Race Against Time
You have a limited amount of time to solve the puzzles in each room. When all three candles extinguish, death awaits you. This is a test of speed and endurance, where every minute could be crucial.

Combination of Horror and Escape Room Mechanics
Each room contains its unique puzzles that gradually reveal the chilling story of the demonic entity holding you captive.

Key Features:

  • Atmospheric Thriller: Immerse yourself in a haunting house where every step is filled with tension and a sense of constant danger. The darkness envelops you, and the demonic entity relentlessly attempts to terrify you, creating uncertainty with every move you make.

  • Timed Puzzles: Solve unique puzzles in the rooms while racing against the clock — when the candles go out, death awaits.

  • Escape Room-Style Progression: Navigate a series of rooms, each with its atmosphere, challenges, and fears, as you move closer to freedom.

  • Chilling Narrative: Piece together clues and uncover the story of the demonic force that seeks to keep you in this sinister place.

This horror-puzzle game will test your endurance and wit — will you be able to escape the trap before darkness claims you forever?
