10 itemsAbout the Game
Trust your hallucinations. Run from what’s real. Canary is a first person horror which follows your hellish journey to reunite with your twin…or her corpse.
Canary is set in a dystopian future, where the monolithic Praxis Labs uses a hallucinogenic biomineral called Omnium to bridge the gap between billion-dollar cybernetics and immortality.
Evade Hunter Drones: Stealth through a frozen forest while deadly drones patrol the treeline.
Flare Gun Survival: Your only weapon is a flare gun with limited ammunition.
Catch the Demon dogging your footsteps
Begin gameplay stranded in a wilderness teeming with Omnium.
Hardly ideal for a kid who already hears his dead dad’s voice at night.
Hallucinations Change Reality: Omnium improves your sight—but distorts the world around you.
Unearth the Woodsman’s grisly tale, and his haunting, buried secret.
You play as Chance, a colorblind 13-year-old with early onset schizophrenia–according to your psychiatrist mom. She fixes the scrambled brains of the people who try to DIY immortality by mainlining raw Omnium. Praxis wanted to meet her—flying you and your twin, to their remote rehabilitation facility—but a mysterious force attacked your chopper.
Is the demon that follows you real or imagined?
And if you can’t trust your own instincts, how will you survive?
“It’s like Alice in Wonderland but with drones, demons, and cyborgs.”
