About the Game

BLACK WALLS game logo. Wishlist now

BLACK WALLS is a first-person surreal puzzle horror game with liminal and psychological horror elements. It is about an isolated astronaut who discovers something impossible beyond the Moon.

Joshua should have died alone in the darkness. An accident outside the space station sent him drifting into deep space, farther and farther from any hope of rescue. Then, beyond the far side of the Moon, where there should have been nothing, he saw something impossible: black walls.

They offered a way in, but no way out. Now trapped inside this silent, impossible world, Joshua must solve its strange puzzles and overcome its obstacles as he searches for an escape and begins to uncover what the Black Walls really are.

The Black Maze

Built from monochrome spaces, brutal geometry, and stark light. 

Read The Light

Study how light changes what you can see, read the space around you, and notice where darkness hides paths that may already be in front of you.

Quiet Unease

Where silence, spatial sound, and minimal interface elements keep the focus on presence and unease. Some areas

feel calm and almost peaceful. Others feel wrong.

Symbolic Choices

Carefully interpret objects you discover in the maze. The choices you make will shape your ending.

Chill Mode

Explore at your own pace, focusing on atmosphere, direction-finding, and discovery without a monster hunting you.

Horror Mode

For survival horror tension with an unpredictable threat that can appear in different places and moments.

Story in Silence

Rather than direct exposition, BLACK WALLS tells its story through architecture, symbols, atmosphere, and the decisions you make.
