About the Game

The Maw can't see you or hear you. Be careful the Maw hungers, it devours. The Ear listens, it hears for the Maw. The Peeper seeks, it sees for the Maw. Can you escape the Maw?

This is my very first indie game :)

A simple short survival horror game. Beat the game to unlock a level select menu and bonus content.
