More about this game
Your goal is to escape a liminal maze by finding three notes that reveal the exit. You must explore the dark corridors while managing your sprint and avoiding a relentless hunter. As you survive, you earn time that can be spent on tools like a flashlight or a nearness detector. Random power outages increase the tension, plunging the maze into darkness. A run ends when you unlock the final door to escape, or when the hunter gets too close and catches you.
Tips
- Sprinting drains your breath meter, which lasts 3.2 seconds by default. Save your sprint for when the hunter actually spots you and starts chasing.
- Buy the nearness detector for 35 seconds. It warns you when the hunter is within 18 meters, changing colors from yellow to red as it gets closer.
- Power outages happen randomly every 18 seconds on average. Spend 20 seconds on the hand flashlight so you can see when the lights go out.
Questions
How do I open the exit door?
You must find and interact with all three notes scattered in the maze. Each note gives a clue about the layout. Once you collect them all, the exit door will unlock.
What does the shop do?
The shop lets you spend your survived time to buy items. You can buy a flashlight for 20 seconds or a nearness detector for 35 seconds. Buying items does not block your escape.
How does the hunter find me?
The hunter will chase you if it sees you within 15 meters and there are no walls in the way. You need to break line of sight to make it lose track of you.
